 Crocker Sounds Alarm on Iraqi RefugeesPosted on Sep 17, 2007
In a terse State Department memo, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker admonishes America’s acceptance of Iraqi refugees as critically slow. Crocker estimates that it would take the U.S. nearly two years to process and admit 10,000 refugees referred for resettlement to the U.S.

Here’s an idea. Lets send all the displaced Iraqi refugees to the Bu$h ranch in Crawford Texas to live. They can help run the ranch so Bu$h doesn’t have to keep taking all those vacations to go and use his chainsaw to cut up all the brush that the news media loves to show the American public. They can then vacation at Kennebunkport, and any Iraqis not at those locations can become part of the caretaker staff at the Bu$h compound in Paraquay.Viola! Problem solved.

Why bother vetting? If an Iraqi works for the US as an interpreter, they get a visa to the US quick.
Problem is, we’ve heard numerous times of these interpreters having allegiances to either Al-Qaeda or Iran, but once that year is up, there’s no questions asked! :D Be good for a year around the Americans (the vast majority of us don’t speak Arabic), call your buddies at night, head to America!
The honest Iraqis who work with us are almost always killed.
Another shipment of them just left on that one way trip to America last night. Not saying they’re ALL bad, I’m not saying doom is around the corner.
I’m just saying we shouldn’t be surprised if we hear about Al-Qaeda in America (AQA). Better to fight ‘em over there so we don’t have to fight ‘em over here! :D

Are we fucken STUPID…. AGAIN?
What the hell do we want with 250,000 Iraqis? President fear-monger says if we lose the Iraq war they will follow us home, so now we have to buy them boat tickets?
Man every time I believe this bunch of assholes has hit rock-bottom, they manage to find a way to get one more step lower.

Why don’t we ship them to Mexico, so they could come across the border with the rest of the Americans. That way it would only take one year. Since borders are no longer necessary, we could escalate and be absorbed into the depths of the world wide pyramid scheme. The grand plan.

Where is Crocker’s alarm over the 1.2 million Iraqis dead due to the war, the latest estimate coming out of an LA Times story last week. The UK Telegraph is now predicting a Bush attack on Iran, so how many more dead will we have before the Iran war is over. Reports indicate that Cheney wants to use tactical nuclear weapons to penetrate nuclear sites.

Gee, the surge is working, violence is down, everything is coming up roses…so why are the Iraqis’ fleeing their homeland?
Report thisPlus I thought that repatriate meant sending someine back to their country and immigrate meant them coming to this country.
Then again, that was Shrubs’ chosen writing that memo, so that explains that.
