Stone to direct ad for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq · 2007-04-22 12:20
Film-maker Oliver Stone will direct an advert for a campaign calling for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
A US serviceman or woman, or relatives, will discuss the impact of the war in the ad, as part of the campaign by the MoveOn and VoteVets organisations.
“America needs to listen to our servicemen and women,” said Stone.
The US is sending 28,000 extra troops to Iraq in a “surge” to combat the insurgency in the country, BBC informs.
“We have leaders in Washington who say they’re ‘supporting our troops’ – but the people who suffer most from their policies are the troops themselves,” said Stone in a statement.
