Jane Fonda to tour in opposition to war in Iraq - bus to run on vegetable oil

SANTA FE, N.M. — 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.

Otherwise known as "biodiesel". I think you need a petrol starter engine, but they are said to work ok. Disclaimer: I don't drive and so have no actual experience of what I am reporting, so give me a job on the NYT. :0)

I'll bet she would have loved Hitler, shame he died before her time.

Would it be too much to hope for her and her bus to encounter an IED?

I could make a comment on her and her bus and the vegetable oil, but it wouldn't be appropriate for polite company such as this.

I hope for Ms. Fonda's sake she has personal body guards on this bus tour.

I expect to see her posing with an RPG next to some Al Qaeda.

I guess her ex was getting too much publicity.

It really would be to bad if that bus was afflicted with a lot of flat tires.

Think how many starving children in Africa the vegetables used to make her bio diesel would feed. How inhumane.

She may assume that she won't need any.

Great headline.

At the beginning of one of Hillary's trips as first lady, her plane was first overweight and then had to abort a take off from Andrews due to an engine problem. The headline read something like,

Hillary overweight - shoots flames out rear!

LOL! Jane is so pathetic. "My Life So Far" will be "My Life Is Over" if she goes through with her madness. Hanoi Jane mutates into Jihad Jane.

Yeah, but she would have cheated with Stalin, behind Hitler's back.

I was sure this was humor. Good grief. Well, she was going to be on our site anyways (and not as a hero), but this just bumped up the timetable.

....

Book tour on the backs of GI's - isn't Ted Turner paying her enough alimony?

Her brain runs on vegetable oil.
