"At Baghdad airport, throngs of Iraqis jostle for places on the flights out - testimony to the breakdown in Iraqi society...US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants said last month that there were 644,500 refugees in Syria and Jordan in 2005 - about 2.5 per cent of Iraq´s population. In total, 889,000 Iraqis had moved abroad, creating "the biggest new flow of refugees in the world", according to Lavinia Limon, the committee´s president"
In addition to telling us that a small plane flew into the Pentagon 9/11/2001, the Pentagon advertises that US service people stand shoulder to shoulder with their Iraqi trainees and counterparts, Vietnam style, "cadre...winning hearts and minds". If the US military is training some technicians, still, the reality is the opposite of warco advertising, because the million Iraqi refugees include the college graduates and advanced degree holders in all fields. Think for a moment, US green berets cannot train doctors and judges and professionals with four to seven years of college. No, the green berets cannot win that war! The smartest and best educated left first. Most live in Syria. Iraqi society is very dumbed down, thanks to a US invasion to liberate 380 tons of HMX for terrorist bomb makers, plus a lot of nuclear material. -Bob D --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, RoadsEnd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Begin forwarded message: > > > From: "Alamaine, IVe" [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Date: July 14, 2006 10:44:47 AM PDT > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [ctrl] 'Baghdad is in meltdown' > > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > http://www.capitolhillblue.com/content/2006/07/ > > baghdad_is_in_meltdown.html > > 'Baghdad is in meltdown' > > July 14, 2006 5:07 AM / FUBAR . > > The standard line of political bullshit from the Bush > > Administration and > > the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill is that the situation is > > improving in Iraq.
