U.S. Troops are Child Killers
Accusing U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq of killing civilian women and children on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes"
Quote
"I just don't believe that you bomb women and children in order to enforce [the U.N. resolution on Iraq],"
When challenged on his claim that U.S. forces were killing Iraqi children, Rangel said sarcastically,
Quote
"You're right. They're shooting themselves. They just don't know they're being liberated."
After accusing American GIs of what amounts to the commission of war crimes, Rangel then slammed President Bush as unqualified to lead the U.S. into war.
Quote
"With all due respect to the president, I don't think he has the experience for me to be listening to him on how the war's going or what we should be doing. It would be a tremendous stretch to say that I have an appreciation for the president's knowledge of international politics."

Then Rangel mocked the U.S. military's success in killing the two Hussein heirs, saying:

"I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums."
