The report said the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees had referred 10,000 Iraqis for U.S. resettlement.

It said the Iraqi exodus "from the violence and instability of their homeland" constituted "the largest refugee crisis of 2007."

"While the Bush administration and the United Kingdom are busy trying to win the war, they have provided no leadership toward ensuring the rights and well-being of the victims of this war."

Wasn't one of the Bush administrations lines about the rational behind invading Iraq being to HELP the people of Iraq?

I sure thought that was one of the justifications, I think it directly followed finding NO WMDs.

It was right before they admitted it was all strategic, for the oil and position in the Middle East. Oh wait they still deny that...umm I am not sure what their line is any more, I think they just realize we wont do anything to stop them so they are basically thumbing their noses at us now.

And killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, forcing them to flee, and allowing our brave soldiers to die for their greed.

yay america....

They knew they were going in.....but, where? Oh where......

That would be expecting too much of them. But hey, freedom is on the march.
