Jesse Jackson says 'Bush Misadventure in Iraq Costing Lives and Money'

The war in Iraq is a human rights dilemma that transcends politics, according to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who then criticized the politics of President Bush on Thursday for getting America stuck in a "tragic losing predicament." Jackson said he favored the idea of Bush's Democrat challenger in the November elections, Sen. John Kerry, who he said advocates "mobilizing the international community to help us get out gracefully and quickly as possible. "The misadventure in Iraq is costing lives and money, compounded by a closed-door policy," Jackson said. "He promised to be a compassionate, connected conservative. He's been the opposite, extremely ideological." [more]
