It wasnt bad enough that Bush had to attack Iraq and kill thousands and thousands of people, now a Democratic Senator wants to bring the displaced Iraqis here.
I mean it, this sends me up a wall. I could have cared less for the Iraqis to start with, and now I care less more. And not more or less, I care less more.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who chaired a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee that addressed the issue, said that the displaced populations may be susceptible to recruitment by extremist groups. He said the situation “presents to the American people and the world a moral challenge as well as one that is related to security.”
Casey said in his prepared testimony that the U.S. should bolster efforts to resettle Iraqi refugees to the United States and develop a more comprehensive strategy to address the issue.
The SOB goes on to say that:
Nearly 2 million are estimated to remain outside the country, mostly in Syria and Jordan, and an additional 1.6 million, forced from their homes by sectarian and ethnic violence, are displaced inside Iraq.
And they are living without health insurance and in poverty. Well hell yes! We just bombed the daylights out of their familys and made it easy for the Shiites to chase them out of the country. The family we didnt kill was killed by the religious nuts we set loose on the countryside. And we want them to come here and be coerced? You want to bring people here that you bombed out of their houses, killed their families and forced some of their women into prostitution to survive over here? What in the hell has happned to the democratic party?
As far as I am concerned, I would love to say this is a Bush problem. Let that murderous bastard take care of it with his buddy-in-the-bunker Cheney. We are spending billions in iraq, acheiving nothing in the rebuilding of that country except for building walls throughout Bagdad to keep them from eachother.
It boils down to several things. One, another reason Bush should be in prison. Two, Iraq needs to rebuild itself with its own labor force. Bring their people home and do not try and get me to pay for their health and welfare. I am allready paying for the bombs, American families are paying in blood through the death of our forces in Iraq. Americans are living in unemployment and losing our homes, for what? So Iraqis can come live in them?
This cannot happen.
