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 administrations 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."

BTT!!!!!
"How many in this group, and how many actually served , period, and how many actually served in Vietnam?"
Exactly! The left's best, the rotten scumbag totally worthless maggot infested hippie America hating draft dodgers of the Vietnam era started posing as veterans shortly after that war. Posing as homeless veterans on street corners, with signs asking for handouts. I read Soldier Of Fortune in that era, and the magazine did an excellent job of exposing that part of the Democrat base.
That's the name of that tune.
Tides foundation is a teresa hienz gig, along with big greenie activity and could constitute treason for that a**hole husband of hers possibly. If you have the time to do the research and connect the dots.
Zackley! :)
Amen to that! :)
There is only one question...What took them so long?
You want President Bush impeached?
Yes, of course. Doesn't everyone?
They're probably just as "real veterans" as a lot of the fake "veterans" in Kerry's VVAW and just as real as Kerry's "honorable" discharge.
The good news is that there are only 42 of these idiots at any given chapter meeting, or there is only 50 of these idiots in each state.
Given enough time and resources, any local VFW lodge could travel across the country and kick all of their lousy asses.

Otter: Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons. But that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
They've made their living off this stuff for over 30 years, doc, so why stop now?
Goal of today's military supporters: notify all breathing Americans on who these folks are and make them understand this is the Fifth Column who wants America to fail in the war on terror. Explain to them that Hack had an agenda from the beginning (he scared the hell out of us military wives with his bogus reports that our guys weren't prepared in the beginning...thank God for Ollie North who reported their proficiency).
This crap is getting old.
Thank God they have zero momentum with their flak.
Given the VVAW's disingenuous past, we probably ought to ask if any actual veterans belong to VFP.
