Rep. Charles Rangel, D-NY, announced on Sunday that he's introducing legislation to impeach Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"I put in a bill for his resignation. It's shameful," Rangel told NBC's "News Forum" in New York. "Not only for his resignation, for his impeachment as well, because he would allow us to believe that he was shocked and he did not know exactly what we would be faced with [in Iraq]."
Rangel blamed Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz for "advising the president to get rid of Saddam Hussein."
"It's embarrassing," he complained. "Here we are, the greatest nation in the world, the most powerful political military force in the world with a Third World nation with no army and we can't be prepared when we're putting our troops in harm's way?"
Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The Harlem Democrat did not specify the nature of Rumsfeld's alleged criminal conduct.
I don't doubt that Bush is the main trophy they are after,
Rummy is just an excuse to "go fishing".
Remember these traitors after the next attack,
remember whose side they were on.
I propose recall legislation for Rangel. No way this person is a legit american.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Charlie, you need to be sure of which way the bullet will fly before you pull the trigger. A lot of us consider Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz heroes for just this reason.
somebody tell this SOB, that it isn't 1950 anymore, its ok not to try and have your hair look like a caucasions,
and oh yeah, tell him to BITE ME
rummy is the best we ever had in his position.
"Murder in the Harlem Mosque" is written by one of the French Connection cops who details the obstruction by Rangel, fmr. PC Ben Ward(who urinated from a helicopter while in flight) and Screwy Louie Farrakhan in the murder investigation of a NYPD cop. This occurred in the early 1970's, when a brave cop ran into Farrakhan's mosque responding to a 9-11 call and was murdered in sight of his comrades locked out by "Religion of Peace" mosqueteers.
