Veterans Group Calls on Congress to Impeach George W. Bush and Richard Cheney

ST. LOUIS--On March 30, a national veterans’ organization called for the removal of President George W. Bush and Vice-President Richard Cheney for crimes the group charges were committed during the invasion and occupation of Iraq. In a letter sent to each member of the US House and Senate, Veterans For Peace (VFP) stated that “...This administration’s war on Iraq, in addition to being increasingly unpopular among Americans, is an unmistakable violation of our Constitution and federal law which you have sworn to uphold. In our system, the remedy for such high crimes is clear: this administration must be impeached.”

David Cline, a decorated Vietnam War combat veteran and VFP president, said in a prepared statement to the press, "We do not make this call lightly and as former members of the US armed forces, we take our responsibilities as citizens very seriously. For that reason we believe that when our government conducts a war of aggression on Iraq and commits a growing and appalling series of what must legally be considered war crimes and crimes against humanity in the execution of that war, it violates Article VI of the US Constitution, the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441), and numerous international treaties which are legally binding on our nation."

Sorry I mentioned Hack's name, I didn't see it in this article just spouted off at him as this seems like something he would do.

"it may not participate at all in campaign activity for or against political candidates."


I would say that calling for impeachment IS participating in political activity.

I am no good at research, never was, and am worse since I got a Mac.

What's the Mac have to do with it?

I'm curious about that? Why?

Your TV clip must have been carefully edited if that's your impression... there was a transcript of her views posted here a couple of days ago and she's just spewing her old line of crap- no regrets over her meeting with POWs, etc.

She just regrets getting her picture taken on the gun- probably because it's something revisionist history can't fix for her.

It was and I was misled. She's completely clueless. She thinks that supporting the enemy would shorten the war rather than lengthen it. She was wrong then and still clings to that belief. There are too many like her today.

Thanks for catching my erroneous interpretation.

She was on Charlie Rose or Tavis Smiley last night. I didn't even bother to watch her. She was on earlier in the day talking to someone else. I didn't even bother to listen: I'll get a less-emetic print version somewhere.

Want to be that they're all or mostly fake vets? The kind of people B.G. Burkett wrote about in "Stolen Valor"?
