The Librul Media Is Missing The Good News! 1 Million Iraqis Have Left Iraq

[leftchick]

According to many RW sources and a lot of Military folks I have heard, The US "Librul Media" is not reporting all of the good things going on in Iraq! Dammit! Schools, hospitals yada yada....


Perhaps this is an indication of why there is no good news freeps and freaks! IRAQ has become so violent THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS!!!!! Over a MILLION Iraqis have left for safety and hundreds of thousands more are displaced into refugee camps!

Ponder that....

Up to 1.6 million Iraqis now live outside their country -- mostly in Jordan and Syria, and in increasing numbers in Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, the Gulf states and Europe, Redmond said.

Some of these left Iraq a decade ago but many have fled since 2003, when U.S. troops invaded the oil-exporting Gulf country and deposed dictator Saddam Hussein.

Redmond said the U.N. agency has had to shift its focus from helping Iraqis return from abroad to assisting the huge numbers of Iraqis who are fleeing widespread insecurity and unrest.

Another 1.5 million people are displaced within Iraq, including more than 365,000 who have been uprooted since February, according to UNHCR and Iraqi government estimates.

"This displacement amid the ongoing violence in Iraq is presenting an enormous humanitarian challenge and extreme hardship for both the displaced and the Iraqi families trying to help them in host communities," Redmond said.

5. It would have been...

....cheaper and much more humane, to have invited the good people of Iraq to come to America. We could have built new schools and hospitals here, not there.

Really, it is the answer to war. Invite all the good people here, leaving the bad people there to kill each other off. Then the good people can move back, repopulating their country.

Cheaper and far more humane.
