SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.

"I can't go into any detail except to say that it's going to be pretty exciting," she said.

Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil." She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.

They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, "My Life So Far" on Saturday.

Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.

"I've decided I'm coming out," she said.

Hundreds of people in the audience cheered loudly when Fonda announced her intentions to join the anti-Iraq war movement.

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."

Fonda incited controversy in July 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.

If she wants to meet with terrorists I'm sure they'll provide her with some really great photo ops.

See, all her born-again Christian, "I'm sorry," my-book-tells-all crap was just that. We said it at the time, and today, here's the proof.

Where's a barf bag when ya need one? I don't know who I loathe more - HJ or SKerry. This woman has got to have something more productive to do with her life that won't hurt our troops. Again. As part of some sicko thirty year cycle.

Hard to beat this accompanying picture as a combination of hubris, smugness, and condescension. May she enjoy the "road trip" of her rapidly departing relevance with her fellow travelers (in every sense of that term).....

How soon until we see her grinning face next to some "insurgents" burying a IED by the road?

This is so crazy. She is shameless. She is absolutely out of her mind. Maybe it's all the BOTOX who knows?

The Jane Fonda Book on Renewal:

Rule 7. When seeking forgiveness for the past sin of treasonable activity, tour the nation on a bus and spit in the faces of family members of those overseas serving their nation.

A little too late to stop the war. So that means a proper headline would read...

Jane Fonda to oppose Iraq reconstruction on Bus Tour.
