Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, January 05, 2008

Nearly 50,000 Iraqi refugees returned home from Syria in the final 3 1/2 months of 2007, the latest sign of diminishing violence in this war-pocked country, according to new data from relief workers. "Security has definitely improved, and improved by far," said Said I. Hakki, president of the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization, the aid group that compiled the statistics. "And yet the return is really not that dramatic, when you consider that there are almost 2 million Iraqi refugees out of the country."

NO!!! There can't be more of them comming back. You are just making his stuff up.

It's not a big deal sniper b/c millions fled and only 46,000 came back.

The left

They just found out the Iraqi army gets to shoot Americans. They all want to sign up!
2008-it's the new 2006.
And we know how fucked up Iraq was in 2006.

That's like saying 50,000 illegals returned to Mexico. No big deal.

"They just found out the Iraqi army gets to shoot Americans. They all want to sign up!
2008-it's the new 2006.

What does that have to do w/ the article?

So 2.3% of those who fled the country have returned. And why? Because its now such a great place to live?
No.

"But Hakki, the Iraqi Red Crescent president, had another explanation.

'People are coming because they are desperate,' he said. 'The majority of them are broke or their visas have expired. That's the bottom line.'"

So I'm not sure this is quite the triumph Sniper might have imagined.

Talk about grasping at straws Sniper. Just making a comment like that points out how pitiful 50K returing refugees are.

Regards,
etc.

And just a few months back there was another story about tens of thousands returning as well...

Apparently things have gotten SO bad in Iraq that tens of thousands are coming back just to see the carnage... Because God knows it can't be because things are improving.

Read the article Rob. The 46,000+ are the cumulative total for the past few months. Not in addition to "tens of thousands" of others. And I refer you again to the quote from the head of the Iraqi Red Crescent as to why most of them are returning.

There is certainly some good news from Iraq these days - mostly militarily. But this is not an example of that good news. Don't make yourself look foolish by latching on to this as some great dramatic return of the exiles.

If the headline were ..........

Total Iraq Peace; Imams Piss Sugar

You would get the same bitching comments from the Left, so long as Bush is in the Oval Office. They hate any good news that just might accrue to the Right.

Never mind the death and suffering .... human misery does not matter so long as a Repubican can be blamed. That was Stalin's stance, and it still exists on the Left today.

Of course, if it had been Hillary! in office, the same slugs would be praising this great development of peace. The same turds would ignore the last 7 years and praise Frau Hillary! for finally making a difference.

"Posted by vernon"

Or not.

It seems that Vernon# is skipping his thorazine again. Hey, maybe that's not the fault of Bush* though. After all, Bush* never said "Hey Vernon#, foam at the mouth daily over my incompetence!"

Total Iraq Peace; Imams Piss Sugar

No it would mean they are diabetic, and would be entitled to the universal health care offered to them at US taxpayer expense since we fucked their infrastructure and have to rebuild it. Meanwhile back in the USA....
