Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Spain To Pull 1,400 Troops From Iraq

HeadlineApr 19, 2004

Spain’s new prime minister announced Sunday his country would pull its 1,400 troops out of Iraq within the next 15 days. Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero had originally said he would only pull the troops out on July 1 if there was not a new UN resolution. But after the recent Iraqi uprising Zapatero said the move must take place as soon as possible. Spain’s troops are stationed now outside Najaf, the Shiite Holy City where the US has threatened to invade in order to kill cleric Muqtada Sadr. On Friday, Sadr warned that his followers would wage a general war against the US if it decided to invade Najaf.
