Jesse Jackson offers to go to Iran to help free journalist

Maybe Iran will just accept a trade.
 
I actually have to say that is pretty admirable of him. I think most people would have to be off their rocker to want to go to Iran to help anyone there. Because if a judge in Iran can just accuse and sentence someone of spying and throw them in prison for several years I imagine those judges can do the same thing to anyone else no matter who they are. .Although knowing that this man is such a race parasite and media whore one has to wonder if there is a scam or ulterior motive for wanting to do this other than just from the kindness of his heart.
 
I did not know Jesse Jackson was successful in these international activities:

Jesse Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1983, Jackson traveled to Syria to secure the release of a captured American pilot, Navy Lt. Robert Goodman who was being held by the Syrian government. Goodman had been shot down over Lebanon while on a mission to bomb Syrian positions in that country. After a dramatic personal appeal that Jackson made to Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Goodman was released. Initially, the Reagan administration was skeptical about Jackson's trip to Syria. However, after Jackson secured Goodman's release, United States President Ronald Reagan welcomed both Jackson and Goodman to the White House on January 4, 1984[19]

In April 1999, during the Kosovo War, Jackson traveled to Belgrade to negotiate the release of three U.S. POWs captured on the Macedonian border while patrolling with a UN peacekeeping unit. He met with the then-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević, who later agreed to release the three men.[21]

This surprised me. I hope Jackson is able to do the same with the Iranians.

Jesse is struggling with his insignificance since Obama arrived.

But actually, I won't criticize anyone for attempting to do something like this, regardless of motive. I wish him well.
