Didn't Bush "LIBERATE" them?
"US government opens refugee office in Baghdad" by Amit R. Paley and Walter Pincus, Washington Post | June 4, 2008
BAGHDAD - The US government has opened its first permanent office in Baghdad for Iraqi refugees seeking to settle in the United States, responding to criticism that the Bush administration has failed to help thousands of Iraqis whose lives are in danger because of their work with American organizations.
Why would their lives be in danger, readers? I don't understand.
Our "surge" worked (so I've been told), and Bush "liberated" Iraq.
So why would Iraqis be living in fear?
And how is that "success," readers?
The office, which began interviewing applicants on May 10, has already completed processing 80 embassy employees to leave and the first two arrived in the United States this week, according to Ambassador James Foley, who is Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's senior coordinator for Iraqi refugees. Foley, in an interview in Washington, said that 1,141 refugees were settled in the United States in May and that he believes the administration would reach its goal for this fiscal year of 12,000 by Oct. 1.
Don't we have enough illegals and immigrants without taking in POTENTIAL TERRORIST STOWAWAYS?
WTF, readers?
The Baghdad refugee processing office is in the capital's heavily fortified Green Zone, so that Iraqis who cannot travel outside the country can still apply. Iraqis have complained for years that they could not reach offices in Syria, Jordan, and Egypt because of cost or visa restrictions.
"The whole goal is to provide greater access to people who are in trouble or in threat based on their association with the US," said an American official in Baghdad, who asked that her name not be used because she was not allowed to speak publicly.
I don't get it; why we anyone be threatened for associating with a country that is bringing freedom and democracy to the planet?
I just don't get it!!!!!
More than 4.5 million Iraqis have fled from their homes since the 2003 American-led invasion, making it the largest refugee crisis in the Middle East.
And THAN K YOU, George fucking Bush!!!!!!
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR, about 1.2 million Iraqis are in Syria, at least 500,000 are in Jordan, and an additional 350,000 are in Egypt, Lebanon, and Gulf countries.
Has Bush even said thank you to these countries (like Syria), or does he just threaten them with annihilation?!!
In addition, nearly 2 million are internally displaced inside Iraq.
Sniiiiiiiiffff... ah!!!
The SWEET SHITSTINK of Bush's "LIBERATION!"
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq last week told a donors group in Sweden that his government would provide $195 million to resettle refugees who return to Iraq. He has so far, despite urging from Bush administration officials, provided no more than $25 million to support Iraqis who are outside the country.
?????
Gee, Bush really turned Iraq into a HELL-HOLE, didn't he?
