| Kerry Calls For Rummy’s Resignation |
| 2004-05-07 |
| There have been more calls for Mr Rumsfeld’s resignation from senior Democrat figures. On the campaign trail in California, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said he had called on Mr Rumsfeld to quit "months ago" because of miscalculations on Iraq. Mr Kerry said the abuse scandal only "compounds" the evidence for him to step down. "I think he should have and I think he should have now," Mr Kerry said, according to Reuters news agency. Hannity exposed the hypocrisy well: Kerry-- who admitted to personally engaging in atrocities in VietNam-- now says as part of his campaign to be commander in chief that Rumsfeld is not qualified to be SecDef because much less egregious atrocities occurred on his watch. Huh? |

| #11 Whoa here. Kerry has ever right to call for a resignation. He is the nominee elect, aint he? Course he and his supporters may be twisted in thinkin that the only thing riding on the war is the election. Theys a few soldiers lives at stake aint there? Theys the freedom of 25 million Iraqis at stake? Theys the lives that'll be lost cause of bucked up terrorists at stake? But its just politics aint it? |

| #9 The Nation - Muslim Group Demands Rumsfeld's Resignation http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewNation.asp?Page=Nationarchive200405NAT20040507b.html Kerry, the Dems, CAIR, al Sadr all agree on the need for Rumsfeld to resign. What about bin Laden, Annan, Chirac? Is this just a unanimous call? |

| #8 Crazy Fool, exactly. Many have asked why Vietnam is applicable to today. I say because the same traitors are engaged in the very same activity. Watch as the left tries to cut funding to our soldiers again. I would hope that the voters take a dim view of the politicizing of this importantof an issue. Maybe we can get the writers from Sponge Bob to parody this perfidy - tha's about the level that most voters operate on. |

| #6 SH - What do you think this whole 'prison abuse' 'investigation' is about? And just like before they (and 'news' outlets like the 'We Hate America' morning TV show) are using fraudulant 'evidence' to make a mountain out of a molehill. Who knows if the Iraqis they are interviewing were actually 'abused' -- they could be anybody and the pictures had their heads covered - so the persons in the pictures are anonymous. These prisoners may have spent time in the prison but that does not prove they were the ones actually abused. And Kerry is an expert at War Crimes.... such as Treason.... and Lying to Congress..... |

| #5 Right on SuperHose. I suspect he may want to start a new set of hearings now to begin trashing the current Vets as he did in 1971. He is somewhat of an expert on these matters, I hear. |

| #4 Don't discount what Kerry says on this subject; he is a war crimes expert. I believe he has even testified before Congress about war crimes. |
