Mr. President, Stop Rewarding Incompetance


Fresh from the Daou Report comes word of a new petition at JohnKerry.com urging Bush to replace Rumsfeld. (Check the thread below about Rumsfeld not responding to Gold Star Families' request for a meeting.)

Mr. President,

I was surprised and disappointed that you told the Washington Post last week that no Bush administration official should be held accountable for our failures in Iraq. As the situation worsens and more American lives are lost and troops deployed to the region, it's time to stop rewarding incompetence and to start demanding accountability. For the sake of our men and women in uniform and their families here at home, I urge you to start by replacing Donald Rumsfeld. His record of failure and his inability to play it straight with the American people and our troops overseas make him unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense for one more day, never mind four more years.

If you care about restoring our credibility around the world and our credibility with our troops on the ground in Iraq, you've got to start by removing Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense. That's why I am joining Senator John Kerry and hundreds of thousands of Americans in adding my name to the johnkerry.com petition calling for Rumsfeld's immediate removal from office.

I urge you to act without delay. We can't afford any more auto-penned letters of condolences and shifting stories about what kind of armor we have to protect our troops.

American soliders and their families are counting on you as Commander in Chief to hold those in charge of the war in Iraq to the highest standards.

11. I worked to get out the vote for Kerry and voted for him

so that gives me the right to criticize him for not being more upfront during the recount fight in Ohio and certification.

How much GOTV buys you how much whine?

15. Even Though You've Been Told A 1000 Times He Would've Been

crucified and HURT the cause?

16. We all worked hard for him...

I volunteered for Kerry from August '03. I totally get why Kerry could not be upfront during the recount. It's not Rocket Science!
