Dems Plan To Push For No-Confidence Vote On Rumsfeld

This is a good idea and the timing couldn't be better, what with Rumsfeld comparing Iraq war critics to "Nazi appeasers" and all:

Under assault from Republicans on issues of national security, congressional Democrats are planning to push for a vote of no confidence in Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld this month as part of a broad effort to stay on the offensive ahead of the November midterm elections.

In Rumsfeld, Democrats believe they have found both a useful antagonist and a stand-in for President Bush and what they see as his blunders in Iraq. This week, Rumsfeld compared critics of the war in Iraq to appeasers of Adolf Hitler, a hyperbolic attack that Democrats hope will backfire.

But even before that attack, Democrats and some Republicans had maintained that Bush has never held anyone in his administration accountable for decisions in the Iraq war that many military analysts say went disastrously wrong. The decisions include not mobilizing enough troops to keep the peace, disbanding the entire Iraqi army and purging all members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party -- including teachers and low-level technocrats -- from the Iraqi government.

...

By demanding accountability, Democrats hope to blunt what has been an all-out assault on their positions on national security. The Republican National Committee yesterday blasted Democrats again as "Defeatocrats," and the attacks will continue when Congress returns next week from its month-long recess. Republican leaders plan to consider a full slate of security-related legislation before leaving on Sept. 29 for the campaigns.

...

Front and center of that campaign may be the attack on Rumsfeld. Some Democratic House candidates, such as Diane Farrell in Connecticut's 4th District, have been encouraging Democratic leaders to move formally for a vote of no confidence. And party leadership aides said they are canvassing Democratic members of Congress and exploring the parliamentary mechanism to do so. Before the move is set, the aides said, they want to hear from Democrats in tough races who may feel that the move would leave them vulnerable to Republican attacks.

But Emanuel said the move is set. And he hopes to stage the resolution with as many as 12 retired generals and other military officers who have called for Rumsfeld's resignation.

"We're going to go for a no-confidence vote on Rumsfeld," Emanuel said.

Senate Democrats are considering a similar move. Next week, Sen. Barbara Boxer (Calif.) will offer a sense of the Senate resolution demanding Rumsfeld's resignation.

Cheney, Rummy and Bush have been firing on all cylinders at Iraq war critics this week in hopes that they can regain the initiative on the issue before the November midterm elections.

Democrats need to counter the offensive and reminding people how arrogant, mistake-ridden and clueless the Iraq war policymakers like Rummy have been is an excellent way to do it.

Stand down, Rummy, stand down please, stand down, Rummy.

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here. And I never knew the room could be so big, I never knew the room could be so blue, and I'm grateful that you took away my own shoes, and brought me here instead, dressed in red. And I'm wondering who could be writing this song? I don't care if the sun don't shine, and I don't care if nothing is mine, and I don't care if I'm nervous with you, I'll do my loving in the winter. And the sea isn't green, and I love the queen, and what exactly is a dream, and what exactly is a joke?
