Charlie Rangel - "American" Congressman
by Paul Walfield
American forces in Iraq killed
Saddam Hussein’s two barbaric sons in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on
July 22, 2003. Most accounts of the incident depicted ferocious firefight
that lasted for hours. During the battle, four American soldiers were
wounded by enemy gunfire. In the end, virtually everyone who thinks clearly
was thrilled upon hearing the news. In fact, all across Iraq, celebratory
gunfire was heard and a chorus of “ding dong the witch is dead” comes to
mind among many in the West.
But, for many leaders of the Democratic Party, it was apparently bad news.
They were hoping for a Hussein comeback and now two out of the three great
Iraqi hopefuls, the folks the Democrats were counting on to discredit
America and the Republican Administration are gone. That being the case, you
would think the Democrats would not display their disappointment.
Unfortunately, that is not the way it is.
Charlie Rangel is a Congressman and according to his website, represents
“New York’s 15th Congressional District which comprises East and Central
Harlem, the Upper West Side, and Washington Heights/Inwood.” Charlie has
been elected for 17 terms to Congress and is “ranking Member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, Chairman of the Board of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee and Dean of the New York State
Congressional Delegation.”
Charlie Rangel voted against a Congressional resolution supporting American
troops in Iraq. He also recently tried to have the draft reinstated in an
effort to thwart America’s quest to rid the world of tyrants and despots.
Charlie Rangel appears to not like the Bush administration so much, that he
is quite willing to trash America’s military and America’s president.
On FoxNews’ Hannity and Colmes show a few days ago, Charlie expressed his
anger over the killing of Uday and Qusay Hussein. Charlie believes the
killings were illegal, “We have a law on the books that the United States
should not be assassinating anybody.” Charlie then went further, “when you
personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in
turn, think they can kill somebody.”
Apparently Charlie, a member of America’s House of Representatives either
spoke without knowing the facts, or chose to ignore them. According to
FoxNews, the American forces in Mosul tried to take the Hussein “kids” alive
by first knocking on the door and then “U.S. troops called over loudspeakers
at 10-minute intervals for anyone else to come out. ‘Surrender yourselves or
face harsh military action.”’
The people in the house chose to fire their weapons on the American troops
rather than surrender. It was only then that the Americans fired on the
house, “Those who had barricaded themselves inside responded with gunfire
from the upper floors, witnesses and neighbors said.”
In any case, Charlie seems to believe that killing monsters is a bad thing
because if you kill mass murderers, that may anger terrorists and enemy
forces who in turn, will change their decent and civilized ways and become
just as bad as America is. Charlie is in effect claiming he believes that
America is the “Great Satan,” and the cause of evil all over the world.
Charlie seems to forget documented proof that Saddam’s “kids” are
collectively responsible for raping and murdering children and of
terrorizing and literally millions of Iraqis. Charlie wants all of us to
believe that if America fights back and if America eliminates the real
threats to civilization as we know it, America is somehow contributing to
the hatred many people across the globe already feel about America.
Charlie doesn’t understand that it is people like him, American leaders who
in effect aid and abet America’s enemies by damning America’s foreign policy
and damning America for acting in her own self interest that is the real
cause for concern, and not what America actually does.
It is not just a coincidence that in an article on WorldNet Daily where it
was noted that Al-Jazeera News, a hate America news organization described
the deaths of the two Hussein “kids” as, “killed in cold blood, in what was
a crime.” For America haters, the end of two despots’ lives in Iraq was a
sad day, and an opportunity to attack America.
Charlie goes even further than Al-Jazeera and claims that having two less
miserable and horrid murderers in the world is not something to be happy
about, “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.”
Apparently, at least for Charlie, the concept of relief and satisfaction is
as foreign a notion as being proud of America’s military and country is to
Al-Jazeera. But, that isn’t enough of an attack on America’s accomplishments
in Iraq for Charlie. He adds the following as his understanding of the
assault on Saddam Hussein’s offspring, “I personally don't get any
satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two
bums.” For Charlie, there apparently is nothing that our military does that
he can be proud of short of open rebellion against the Bush Administration.
Hopefully, Charlie’s constituents have not been electing him to Congress
because they too see America as the world’s bully, but rather because of his
name recognition. We can only trust that his constituency will now have the
real Charlie Rangel in mind when they go to vote next time and not just his
name.
Charlie Rangel is after 17 terms in Congress, an American icon.
Unfortunately, he is turning into an American embarrassment for many.
