On September 2, eleven members of Congress, led by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), submitted an official 'Dear Colleague' letter to President Bush calling on the dismissal and firing of Lt. Gen. William Boykin as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence for his anti-Muslim remarks made while in official military uniform.

The letter reads, in part: "One such step…is for you to dismiss Lt. Gen. William Boykin as the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. We were appalled when we learned of the comments General Boykin had made invoking religion in an inflammatory and inappropriate way while in uniform. Many of us hoped at the time that your administration would act promptly to remove him, but you instead decided to give him the benefit of a thorough investigation. Now that investigation has demonstrated what has been clear to many of us all along – namely that General Boykin should not serve as a high intelligence officer of the U.S. government. We find his judgment to be severely lacking on many counts. The offense he has given to hundreds of millions of Muslims in the world clearly can only exacerbate many of the problems we face…"

The other honorable signatories included Rep. James McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Martin Meehan (D-MA), Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA).

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamofascist’s propaganda organ (think of them as the IRA’s Sinn Fein), wants to discipline LT Gen Mattis, the highly decorated veteran who has devoted his life to protecting his country, because he said it’s fun to shoot vicious animals. For those from the Left, he is what red staters call a patriot . Anyway, CAIR also had a problem with LT Gen Boykin, another patriot whose biography reads like a 4th of July speech. LT Gen Boykin had the nerve to speak to his church in uniform and say that God was on our side( translated for the Left, God is on the side of the people who aren’t beheading civilians and strapping bombs to the mentally ill children). CAIR has some powerful allies against heroes of the United States. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Just in case anybody was wondering who is the enemy of America

The President should say he doesn't equate slapping women around with being Muslim. Do you, Congressmen?

Aren't nearly all of them members of the Progressive Caucus?

I stand with LTG Boykin.

Those other traitors can go to hell and carry one of Barney's boys under each arm.

This is like the cockroaches demanding that the Orkin man be fired!

OTOH, how could any one take this letter seriously since Cynthia McKinney, whacko d' tuti whackos, didn't sign it? Although, maybe, McKinney is holding out until she gets a big chunk of Muslim/Saudi/terrorist campaign contribution cash.
