Recent Letter to the Editor from a Fellow 528th USAAG Vet

in Connectionsnewspaper.com

Thank U.S. Rep. Tom Davis for his recent meeting
with Veterans For Peace and Virginians For Peace and
Accountability. I handed Mr. Davis a book containing
"Laws violated by President George W. Bush,
Vice-President Richard Cheney, public officials under
their authority, and members of the U.S. military
under their command, sufficient for impeachment." If
he reads the evidence presented to him, he will be
left with only one conclusion: that this
administration's war on Iraq is an unmistakable
violation of our Constitution and federal law which he
has sworn to uphold.

If tomorrow the government asked the American people
for $5,000 and a child to fight the Iraq war, the war
would be over the day after tomorrow. As a veteran
with an extensive knowledge of history I believe we
are unnecessarily locked in war for resources.
President Bush and Vice President Cheney chose not
emulate Nixon and his Open China Policy. Instead they
chose the path of war. We can lessen the consequences
if the following steps are taken now.
1) Impeach the President and Vice President
The best way for Congress to demonstrate its support
for the troops is to relieve the President and Vice
President.
2) Plan and execute an exit strategy from Iraq
A. Development of an appropriate international
peace-keeping force.
B. Support Iraqi self rule and free and fair
elections.
C. The U.S. should provide humanitarian aid to Iraq to
rebuild its infrastructure.
