Pelosi Says Rumsfeld's Judgment Is Impaired

I know some Democrats wish Pelosi would speak with a stronger voice but when circumstances are right, she can tell it like it is. Donald Rumsfeld spent his first two and a half years strutting around like a bantam rooster. Remember "old Europe" and "shock and awe" and "decapitation" and "we know where the WMDs are" and finally, "stuff happens"? Raw Story has a post on what Pelosi had to say:

Earlier today on MSNBC, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said that she had "long thought" that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's "judgment has been impaired," a day after Rumsfeld compared critics of the Bush Administration's war in Iraq to Nazi-era "appeasers."

"I have long thought that the Secretary of Defense's judgment has been impaired," Rep. Pelosi told MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell. "Two and a half years ago, I called for his resignation."

Pelosi called on President Bush to publicly denounce Rumsfeld's statements.

"He speaks for the administration, so I can only assume that his words are the words of the president," said Pelosi. " If they are not, it behooves the president of the United States to reject this characterization of political debate in our country."

We all know Rumsfeld's type. People who talk loud but aren't competent always try to blame others for their own blunders and incompetence. Rumsfeld should simply do us all a favor and step down.
