CITIZEN ALERT! v1.36
BOXER DRIVES THE POINT HOME
Press Release of Senator Boxer
Boxer to Offer Sense of the Senate
Resolution Calling for Rumsfeld to be Replaced
Calls on Bush to stop scaring the American people and start protecting them
Thursday, August 31, 2006
Los Angeles, CA U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today announced that when the Senate returns to session and resumes consideration of the Defense Appropriations Bill, she will offer an amendment calling on the President to immediately appoint a new Secretary of Defense.
Boxer said, This latest Rumsfeld rampage cannot stand. By comparing critics of this Administrations policies in Iraq with those who wanted to appease fascism and Nazism in the run up to World War II, he is slandering the majority of the American people, who oppose the war in Iraq.
Boxers sense of the Senate resolution also points out that Secretary Rumsfeld failed to adequately plan for post-war operations in Iraq, leading to widespread violence, the rise of sectarian militias, and the rapid growth of the insurgency.
A number of retired generals who served our country with honor and distinction have called for Secretary Rumsfelds resignation over his mishandling of the Iraq war, including General Anthony Zinni, General Wesley Clark, Lieutenant General Greg Newbo ld, Major General John Batiste, Major General Charles Swannack Jr., Major General John Riggs, and Major General Paul Eaton, as well as numerous United States Senators.
Boxer also commented today on President Bushs speech in Utah this afternoon, saying This latest speech by the President was just a long repetition of old messages and rhetoric to scare the American people. The war in Iraq and the war on terror are not one and the sameits time to stop scaring the American people and start protecting them.
