Jesse Jackson Calls for Troop Withdrawal
Khaled M. Batarfi • Arab News

ATHENS, 10 May 2004 — The Rev. Jesse Jackson has urged the Bush administration to withdraw American troops from Iraq and carry out a thorough investigation of human rights violations in the war-torn country.

During the opening session of a conference on religions and cultures in Greece, Jackson said Bush must “end the occupation of Iraq and return sovereignty to the Iraqis as quickly as possible in cooperation with the United Nations and Europe.”

“The US bias toward Israel and its support for (Ariel) Sharon’s aggressive policies have obstructed peace and triggered violence and hate in the region,” he said.

2. Good for him

It starts from the fringes, but the momentum should build. Maybe this is part of a process to let Kerry come out against the war unreservedly, and promise a troop withdrawal.

The use of dogs against prisoners was favored by the Nazis, but also used by slavers looking for runaways. It is a powerful negative image.
