Ah, Hanoi Jane...still in love with enemies of freedom after all these years!

(BTW, why are all these bloody wackers coming down here????!!!)

[Keith in Iowa]

Find a killer 'roo to stalk her and take her out while she's down there... :)

[beaversmom]

We haven't learnt our lessons

No you haven't Jane.

[ferri]

don't you have any hungry sharks there?

[Andy from Beaverton]

There she goes again on foreign soil bashing America.

"BTW, why are all these bloody wackers coming down here????!!!"

1) They know they have no chance of effecting any change here; "fresh woods, and pastures new" and all that.

2) It's summer there ;)

I have been spending time with Iraq veterans who have come back ... their voices are the most important because the Bush administration can't say they are unpatriotic.

"We have to support the ones who have been there who say this is wrong. What they are saying is, pull the troops out now."

She must have been hanging out with the Clarksville AK "Off to War" gang

Fonda attracted international headlines in 1972 when she was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while on a tour of the country to drum up support to end the war.



Maybe she would like to reprise that role and go to Iraq and strap a suicide bomb to her waist.

Words of wisdom from a washed up woman...shut up Hanoi Jane!

[rfreedom4u]

When is she going to team up with Cindy?

[highlander_UW]

If I call for a Fonda exit from the nation will that happen?

[saganite]

[Screamname]

Did she get her picture taken with Bin Laden yet?

[Berlin_Freeper]

Jane, you ignorant slut...

"There is no way to be helpful to other people unless you are honest about yourself."

True. And that, I regret to say, is something I can express no confidence in Ms. Fonda's capacity for.

In the first place,

"I have been spending time with Iraq veterans who have come back ... their voices are the most important because the Bush administration can't say they are unpatriotic.

"We have to support the ones who have been there who say this is wrong. What they are saying is, pull the troops out now."

is sheer tendentiousness; why are those who do not "say this is wrong" less worthy of "support"? In the nature of things the American military is for good and sufficent reason determinedly apolitical; General Eisenhower was courted by both political parties to be their candidate for POTUS in 1952 because he was not a known political quantity. Ms. Fonda and her ilk subvert a crucial American tradition by promoting political activism in the military.

Journalists who give this sort of rhetoric legs are acting out a fantasy of rescuing the mutinous troops trapped in the quagmire of the Western Front in WWI. Ms. Fonda is promoting herself by indulging in that fantasy for the journalists' benefit.

Fonda's stand on the Vietnam War made her deeply unpopular among war veterans and that animosity survives today.

So much for the "mutinous troops in the quagmire" fantasy she promoted then and is promoting now . . .

Fonda's political activism, film career and personal life are covered in her autobiography, titled My Life So Far, which she is in Australia to promote.

. . . so she has a financial as well as an ego motive in this confidence swindle . . .

We haven't learnt our lessons," Fonda, 68, said

More ironic words have never been spoke.

Feel free to keep her. You know, it doesn't really bother me that these fuzzy headed celebcritters speak out. They are kind of like listening to a radio that is off frequency. Just noise and static.

[Jeff Gordon]

I guess we can now look forward to pictures of Hanoi Jane planting IEDs in Iraq.
