Rangel: U.S. Acted Illegally in Killing Uday and Qusay

The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.

"We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"We tried to assassinate Castro and we paid dearly for it," the Rangel contended. "And when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody."

When an incredulous Sean Hannity expressed dismay at Rangel's comments, the Harlem Democrat shot back, "How can you get so much satisfaction that two bums have been killed? We got bums all over the world and some in the United States."

Then Rangel mocked the U.S. military's success in killing the two Hussein heirs, saying, "I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums."

Ah, shaddup you raspy-voiced t*rd.

[DPB101]

The Democratic Party would not be what it is today without representatives such as Charles Rangel.

[clintonh8r]

Maybe Qusay and Uday are saving a seat in Hell for their pal Charlay.

[Imagine]

Charlie "the scum" Rangel....

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Every once in a while I am rendered speechless.

[Paul Atreides]

Wasn't it Rangel who characterized the military as thugs and baby-killers?

[Monty22]

""We tried to assassinate Castro and we paid dearly for it," the Rangel contended. "And when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody." "

And who did that Charley? I assume by 'we' he means 'Democrats'.

[squidly]

A dark day for Rangel and the other members of the American Ba'athist Party.

[Cyber Liberty]

It must really suck to be Rangel...having to come up with ever larger howlers every time he comes on somewhere.

[Paul Atreides]

Kids? They were grown men who raped and tortured.

[clintonh8r]

Yes, on H&C a few weeks ago. He comes across as avuncular and jolly. He's actually a mean, evil man.

[Paul Atreides]

I remember he also feted Castro a few years ago.

[_Jim]

This man is insane .. this should also solidly cement his nuttiness in the minds of anyone who hears/views this ...

[clintonh8r]

He's actually the king of Harlem. Well, the black king. Billy Blythe is the white king of Harlem.

[Fred Mertz]

This is how you take out the mafioso. You can't do it with candy bars.

[TheGrimReaper]

Perhaps Rangel will tell us again how "Bush lied"....
as his selective amnesia continues to block all memory of the Master Liar, 1993-2001.
Indeed -- shut the hell up, Charlie. You're an imbecile AND a socialist sycophant.

[Paul Atreides]

He'd be crowing it from the Empire State Building if it had been Clinton or Gore who took them out.

[Cyber Liberty]

So, Clinton is both the first black president as well as the white king of Harlem?

Makes perfect sense.

[smoothsailing]

This could help Sharptons campaign

GO, AL, Go !!.

[First Amendment]

The Democratic Party would not be what it is today without representatives such as Charles Rangel.

LOL! I like it when the liberal/leftists reveal their true nature. It's always better to see things in the bright light - then you know how to respond properly. And if some people still think Rangel is a regular human, then we know where they're at too.

[Imal]

Speaking of laws on the books, last I looked, treason is punishable by death.

Democrats beware: at some point, and probably one you have already passed, cheerleading for America's enemies becomes treason.

Note to Mr. Rangel: It's not too late. Abandon evil, tear up your contract with the devil, and come home to America. We are much more forgiving than the murderers, rapists and despots you so avidly admire and support.

[clintonh8r]

Actually the entire NY delegation is worthless. Peter King is a RINO and are there even any other R's in the whole delegation?

[TheCrusader]

""I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums.""

This jerk whitewashes the magnitude of evil these two men have perpetrated on mankind by calling them "bums". Bums sit on park benches and get drunk. Sadistic, brutal tyrants who command entire nations and commit mass murders, torture tens of thousands, rape at will and incarcerate thousands of innocent men, women and children are not "bums", they are psychotic animals who make the whole world a far better place by dying.

[lainde]

Democrats like this inhabit some parallel universe. If they weren't so deadly dangerous they would be quite entertaining...

[Husker24]

I am speechless as well, but this could make a great campaign add in the congressional elections in 04.

[lawgirl]

This was a firefight, not an assasination.

[A_perfect_lady]

Wow. Just... wow. Just when I thought I couldn't hate Rangel et al any more... one of them says something that just.... just.... I can't even.... what the ... what kind of ridiculous, loathesome ... I just can't.... argh!!!

[Paul Atreides]

The Dims don't care one whit about the suffering of the Iraqi people, just as they don't care one whit about the millions murdered in the name of communism/socialism. They are truly the party of evil.

[breakem]

Is there any conceivable way a democrat could ever be trusted with our national defense after their "performances" this year?

[finnman69]

the same night clinton said ti was great news on Larry king

[Husker24]

Its truely mind boggeling isnt it. The sad thing is, he will pay no price for this.

[Monty22]

Well, they were kids in the leftist tradition.. 'someone's kid' is used by the democrats often when including 20 year old gang bangers in gun crime statistics.

[Clinging Bitterly]

>> U.S. Acted Illegally in Killing Uday and Qusay

There's a law on the books, eh?
I presume he's talking about a US law. Surely he can't be claiming our laws apply outside the US, and all that could be logically drawn from that. Pretty sure the matter was cleared a while back. That's sorta why the Afghan detainees are at Gtmo Bay. Does this guy never watch TV?

[F.J. Mitchell]

Rangel: What a dog deposits on the sidewalk, that when one steps in;immediately removes shoes and and while gagging tosses them away.

[InvisibleChurch]

he must have a really safe district

[Jhoffa_]

"We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

Ohhh.. Just get the Effing hook.

What Law, Charlie? Where is is?

[narses]

Ping.

[RWR8189]

Dean/Rangel 2004!

[Paul Atreides]

It's like I posted on another thread, I knew when the Dims were saying all that stuff about unity on 9-11 that it was all a line of bull.

[Jhoffa_]

"is it." rather.

This guy has got me so upset, I can hardly see.

Who the hell does he think he is and above all, PLEASE tell me that SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE is going to haunt him come election time over this nonsense.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Hey Charlie, go straight to hell; do not pass go, do not collect your illgotten pension.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! A new FR bumpersticker: RANGEL HAPPENS

[Doc On The Bay]

OBVIOUSLY "WE SCREWED UP!!"

The ONLY WAY to "MAKE IT RIGHT" is to Send Charley to Iraq as a "Special Representative!!"

AFTER ALL--"W", & his "Perps" "Got It ALL Wrong!!"

So LET US SEND "CHARLEY" & his "Aides" to IRAQ to "SET US STRAIGHT!!"

Doc

[MEG33]

A point we agree on.I heard him say these things and switched channels..I could not watch anymore.

[Paul Atreides]

Let's put it this way, I don't think you'll see his constituents pledging allegiance to the American flag.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Or a new word we can use in place of sh*t.

[DPB101]

Know anyone who can put up a website? We need one right now demanding that Congress impeach Bush for killing Uday and Qusay. Not a parody site but one which appears as if liberals are behind it.

[Choozer]

No, no, please make sure he keeps talking and becomes the Poster Boy for, er, I mean, the face of the Democratic Party. Every time he opens his mouth, he marginalizes himself and his party a little bit more.

[Paul Atreides]

How about contacting Charlie's office and asking him to put his money where his big mouth is and start an impeachment drive.
