Bush should sacrifice Bush palace in Baghdad to refugees

[Fresh_Start]

any other war, refugee camps are setup and forces are used to protect the refugees from the fighters.

Have we done any organized things for refugees trying to escape the civil war? Not much, we've confined them to the civil war. Where are the programs to resettle Iraqis to the US are refugees? I haven't heard much about them, have you?

1. From the UNHCR (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees)...

UNHCR launches new US$60 million appeal for Iraq operations | 1 out of 8 Iraqis now displaced: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x3073207

2. I should have been more clear, I meant US efforts

Have we opened any refugee camps in Iraq for the people esp women and children trying to escape the violence?

I haven't heard of any. We pretend we're trying to help but we've trapped those poor people.

Billions going to Halliburton, billions going to more deaths, more destruction, more displacement, but where is the $60 million the UNHCR needs as a direct result of bush's war?

5. Um...you wrote * and sacrifice in the same sentence......

so that's your first mistake:sarcasm:

Second this administration has never, ever, ever....wait for it ever...given consideration to Iraqi refugees.....all of the surrounding countries are taking in millions of refugees and their economies are being impacted...

In fact this administration is so convinced that they will win (what ever that means) that if the inevitable happens and we pull out our troops what happens to the Iraqi soldiars, police, political appointees that helped the US to establish thee new government?

What will happen is they will be slaughtered.....If you think the slaughter in Vietnam was bad....that will pale in comparison...

If this happens the Hague must prosecute the administration for all war crimes committed...
