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.
