Statement From Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark:
It is not enough to vote a lawless President out of office.
Lawlessness must be removed from office.
George W. Bush made his criminal intentions clear long before committing his war of aggression against Iraq, an act held to be the "supreme international crime" by the Nuremberg Tribunal. The war has taken tens of thousands of lives.
In front page headlines in the New York Times on January 29, 2003 alone, the American people were told "Calling Iraq a Serious Threat, Bush Vows That He'll Disarm It," - "President Says America is Not Afraid to Take Unilateral Action" - "Bush Enlarges Case For War by Linking Iraq with Terrorists."
He boasted of assassinations and summary executions in his State of the Union message in January 2003 making them official U.S. policy along with the direct targeting of civilians and civilian facilities.
President Bush has placed himself above all law. His lawyers in the Defense and Justice Departments have pronounced that the prohibition against torture "must be construed as inapplicable to interrogations undertaken pursuant to his Commander in Chief authority," (March 2003) and, "Any effort to apply (the criminal law against torture) in a manner that interferes with the President's direction of such core matter as the detention and interrogation of enemy combatants thus would be unconstitutional." (August 2002) We now know that such torture has led to scores of deaths.
The American people should not have needed the disclosures of the criminal conduct of President Bush by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9/11, or in books by former Bush Administration Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill, former Chief Security Advisor on Counter Terrorism Richard Clarke, or preeminent investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Seymour Hersh, among many others, important as their contributions are.
President Bush told the world himself time and time again that the law is no obstacle to him, making our country the enemy of the people of the planet. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
Any political party aspiring to nominate a person for President must renounce international crime and pledge accountability for its past commission.
The U.S. military occupation of Iraq remains a crime. The troops must be withdrawn and reparations paid for the death and destruction from U.S. Shock and Awe - terror Bush style. And "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States" responsible for such crimes "shall be removed from office" now. Article II, Section 4. Constitution of the United States of America.
Impeachment of George W. Bush and other officials of the United States who participated in this criminal enterprise by the U.S. House of Representatives and their trial by the Senate for "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" is essential to the integrity of the Constitution and the honor of the elected representatives whose duty it is.
Ramsey Clark (July 25, 2004)
We have a responsibility to hold this administration accountable for the past and continuing horrors of the war and occupation.

This is a decisive moment. Polls show that the vast majority in the U.S. are opposed to this occupation and want the troops brought home NOW. Now more than ever, people all over the world oppose the U.S. government.
