The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.
"We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
"We tried to assassinate Castro and we paid dearly for it," the Rangel contended. "And when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody."
When an incredulous Sean Hannity expressed dismay at Rangel's comments, the Harlem Democrat shot back, "How can you get so much satisfaction that two bums have been killed? We got bums all over the world and some in the United States."
Then Rangel mocked the U.S. military's success in killing the two Hussein heirs, saying, "I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums."

OBVIOUSLY "WE SCREWED UP!!"
The ONLY WAY to "MAKE IT RIGHT" is to Send Charley to Iraq as a "Special Representative!!"
AFTER ALL--"W", & his "Perps" "Got It ALL Wrong!!"
So LET US SEND "CHARLEY" & his "Aides" to IRAQ to "SET US STRAIGHT!!"

Let's put it this way, I don't think you'll see his constituents pledging allegiance to the American flag.
To: Paul Atreides
Or a new word we can use in place of sh*t.

Know anyone who can put up a website? We need one right now demanding that Congress impeach Bush for killing Uday and Qusay. Not a parody site but one which appears as if liberals are behind it.

No, no, please make sure he keeps talking and becomes the Poster Boy for, er, I mean, the face of the Democratic Party. Every time he opens his mouth, he marginalizes himself and his party a little bit more.

How about contacting Charlie's office and asking him to put his money where his big mouth is and start an impeachment drive.

I wonder when they'll have a transcript available.

That's why they are called demonrats!I know, but even their depths of evil don't fail to shock.
To: Choozer
But the Republicans refuse to make Rangel, and the many other Dem congressmen like him, poster boys. The Dem party has lots of embarrassing left wingers, outright marxists, really. I can never get over Maxine Waters telling Castro NOT to extradite the "freedom fighter" who executed a NJ State Trooper. But the Republicans give them all a pass.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, Rangel Happens.
These people have to wake up to themselves in the morning.....punishment enough for me....for now.

Has anyone ever noticed that Wrangle looks like a two-bit pimp? He fitted in perfectly with the Clinton White House of Ill Repute.
