Jane Fonda Wants Bush, Cheney Impeached
Jane Fonda and a number of other prominent liberal figures have joined a campaign to impeach President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "war crimes.” An organization calling itself The World Can’t Wait has taken out a full-page ad in Friday’s New York Times seeking donations and announcing upcoming town meetings in several cities. The ad states that the U.S. government under the Bush administration "is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq.” But the campaign is about more than just the Iraq war. Under the headline "2008 Is Too Late, the ad reads: "What harm can Bush do before his term is up? He can bomb Iran. He can appoint another Supreme Court Justice. He can continue with impunity the crime of torture.”
Story Continues Below The ad charges the Bush regime with "openly torturing people” and "moving each day closer to a theocracy,” and goes so far as to state: "People look at all this and think of Hitler – and they are right to do so.” The World Can’t Wait notice also notes that "there is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party ... We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime’s program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office.” In addition to Fonda, the campaign’s "thousands” of signees include Edward Asner, Gore Vidal, Olympia Dukakis, Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers notoriety, Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel, "Born on the Fourth of July” author Ron Kovic, former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, and Sean Penn. © NewsMax 2007. All rights reserved. Editor's note:
