Had we killed the guy, Rangel would be running around saying that we executed him and should have just arrested him. This guy is SHAMELESS!! I'm sorry, but these damn liberals are very sensitive to being called unpatriotic and unAmerican, but what the hell else are we to think??????????

[plain talk]

Coordination is a lower level function. Irrevelant chatter from a NYC type that's absolutely clueless about such matters.

However wrong Rangel may be, Hannity doesn't have a shred of moral authority to challenge him

On Hannity's radio show today, a military guy called in and Hannity, on his own volition, started talking about how people kept asking him why he didn't join up, since he's so gung-ho about other people fighting.

The Chickenhawk accusation, in other words.

I couldn't believe Hannity's response

First, he said that he's too old(41), and too fat to serve.

Which doesn't explain why he never served when he was younger and could have volunteered

Second, and far worse, he actually said it wasn't necessary for him to serve because his father had served, and had once told him that he had served so Sean would never have to.

Well, isn't that special? I wonder if a future draft board would recognize that exemption

He followed up that gem by talking about why he hadn't gone to Iraq, and said that, well, the troops would rather see Pamela Anderson, anyway.Meaning,he'd rather send a woman into a combat zone than go himself.

The gall and smarminess of this self-serving jerk are beyond belief.

"I say that, on the face of it, there may be evidence that he did NOT coordinate the resistance, given his appearance and where/how he was found."

Actually, the consensus that -I've- heard is that it -has- been established that he was involved in coordinating the resistance. That actually surprises me, I didn't think he was, I thought he'd be too busy hiding (I guess he was good enough to multitask that one).

I'm still looking for the link. Fox News had an article about it. Centcom stated they believed he was coordinating them based on the information in his briefcase.

Rangel knows better. Absence of a shave, a haircut, and a manicure does not imply that the individual is incapable of directing military activity. Nor does this particular form of military activity require micromanagement from above. The idea that some Big Boss identifies targets, assets, and means, and then sends his troops out to execute, is Hollywood fantasy. It simply doesn't work that way.

OTOH, if such a Big Boss is foolish enough to keep a list of principals in a briefcase, and then gets caught...

Damn That Wrangel. He has the temerity to ask important and substantive questions that would aid in the effort to define the insurrection in Iraq. Shocking treason that..
