Twenty six Democrats from the House of Representatives led by Charles Rangel are co-sponsoring a resolution urging President Bush to fire SecDef Donald Rumsfeld. The resolution says Rumsfeld misled the American public on assessments of progress in the war and occupation, sent U.S. forces to Iraq "without adequate planning and sufficient equipment," and "demonstrated a lack of sensitivity" in statements on the war and U.S. casualties.

This is of course, complete horseshit.

I would be interested to see a breakdown of Mr. Rumsfeld's alleged misleading assessments on the war and occupation. We won't, because it is not true.

As to sending our boys to Iraq "without adequate planning and sufficient equipment" all I can say is WTF? There are about 24.5 million free Iraqis at a cost of about 300 U.S. troops which is nothing short of amazing and, oh yeah, unheard of. Hell, I'd like to see what our troops could do if there had been a plan and they had been adequately equipped. Again, specifics please.

Rummy "demonstrated a lack of sensitivity" in regards to statements on the war and U.S. casualties. First, prove it. Second, so what. Since when has insensitivity been a disqualifier from a cabinet post? Third, it is not true.

I'm fairly certain this will never see the light of day in a Republican controlled house and I think these bozos are yet again doing their cause a disservice. They believe that as long as they keep repeating this crap, no matter the validity, the people will buy into it. The people that WANT to believe it will, but I think the average American is beginning to see the Democrats for what they really are and it will cost them dearly in 2004.
