Twenty-Six House Democrats Push to Fire Rumsfeld
A group of more than two dozen House of Representatives Democrats
[("the Congressional Surrender Caucus")]
on Monday said they had introduced a resolution urging President Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "This resolution would make official what so many members of Congress
[and al-Qaida, and the Arab National Socialist Baath Party, and the French foreign ministry,]
already believe — that the soldiers in Iraq and America?s foreign policy would be eviscerated helped greatly if Donald Rumsfeld would leave," Rep. Charles Rangel of New York said in a statement. Rangel said he so far had 25 co-sponsors to the resolution who were "willing to stand up and make fools of themselves say what so many policy makers know, that the first step to bringing our troops home is to send Donald Rumsfeld home."
What's the first step in leaving them there until the job's done?
The resolution said 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.
". . . and worse yet, he did it without French approval!"
With members of the deeply divided, Republican-controlled Congress pushing for adjournment before the end of November, the resolution would be highly unlikely to come up for a vote.
. . . and highly unlikely to pass if it did, and highly unlikely to persuade President Bush even if it did pass.

Rangel is a weasel. This is roughly equivalent to a member of congress calling on FDR to fire George Marshall or Chester Nimitz in the middle of 1944. It's called "giving aid and comfort to enemies of the United States."
