Twenty-six US House Democrats push to fire Rumsfeld

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 — A group of more than two dozen House of Representatives Democrats on Monday said they had introduced a resolution urging President George W. Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

''This resolution would make official what so many members of Congress already believe -- that the soldiers in Iraq and America's foreign policy would be helped greatly if Donald Rumsfeld would leave,'' Rep. Charles Rangel of New York said in a statement.
Rangel said he so far had 25 co-sponsors to the resolution who were ''willing to stand up and say what so many policy makers know, that the first step to bringing our troops home is to send Donald Rumsfeld home.''
The resolution said Rumsfeld misled the American public on assessments of progress in the war and occupation, sent U.S. forces to Iraq ''without adequate planning and sufficient equipment,'' and ''demonstrated a lack of sensitivity'' in statements on the war and U.S. casualties.
With members of the deeply divided, Republican-controlled Congress pushing for adjournment before the end of November, the resolution would be highly unlikely to come up for a vote.
