Murtha and Obey Go to War on Rumsfeld

Today in the U.S. House of Representatives, John Murtha and Dave Obey are firing more shots in the Dems' orchestrated effort to force Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to resign.

From The Huffington Post, always on the cusp of the Dems' antics:

Rep. Murtha and Rep. Obey will announce a resolution today calling for Defense Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation. Rep. Murtha (D-PA) is a Ranking Member of the Defense Subcommittee and Rep. Obey (D-WI) is a Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee.

This resolution may get more support than Russ Feingold's lame effort to censure President Bush for his efforts to protect the American people from terrorists. The Dems have determined that Rumsfeld is a convenient scapegoat so it will probably get more traction.

Still, it's a cheap stunt, just like Feingold's idiotic resolution.

Such posturing and attempts to appeal to the radical Dem base are embarrassing.

They're so clearly calculated.

The bottom line: Rumsfeld will resign when, and only when, President Bush considers that to be an appropriate move.

I am ashamed that Obey, a Wisconsinite, has deemed it prudent to attack the Secretary of Defense in such a flagrant manner DURING WARTIME.

Please remember that Wisconsin is a battleground state. Not all Wisconsinites are fringe radicals like Obey and Feingold.


Note to Murtha: It's "RUMSFELD," not "RUMSFIELD."
