<Al Gore and his one-time rival Ralph Nader have found something to agree upon: When it comes to the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, it's time for a change.
The former vice president will demand the resignations of five administration officials, along with one of President Bush's military commanders, in a speech today in New York. His handlers declined to say who, exactly, is on the hit list. But they described the speech as a hard-hitting attack on the administration's Iraq policies, especially the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib.
Gore's comments will come two days after Nader reiterated his calls for Bush's impeachment, at an address before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
"Plunging our nation into war on what is now a very well-documented platform of fabrications, deceptions and prevarications, to me, rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor, and warrants impeachment proceedings to be initiated in the House of Representatives," Nader said. "It's hard to conceive of a more capable candidate for the invocation of the impeachment authority reposited in Congress by our Founding Fathers." >
