Onward and upward in Anbar

Thursday September 6, 2007

Categories: Iraq

My Dallas Morning News colleague Tod Robberson, who was a foreign correspondent for this newspaper, and who covered the war in Iraq, posted the following comment on the DMN editorial board blog, which came to him from an Iraqi translator working for the US military in Anbar:

the insurgents threatened me to leave Fallujah. so i was obliged to leave the city. i live now in ramadi. it a little bit safer than Fallujah. probablly i wont be alive for a nother month. the process of assassination is really going on so fast for those who were and still working for the coalition forces. i live now under disguise in my cousin area. Plz dont forget me. ... take care and i wont forget your help brother and me and my family pray for you and your family every day.

Got that? Our New Friends The Anbar Sunnis are allegedly using US weaponry to assassinate Iraqi translators for collaboration.

"working for the coalition forces. i live now under disguise in my cousin area. Plz don't forget me. ... take care and i wont forget your help brother and me and my family pray for you and your family every day."

Screw you and your prayers and your family and your country, Abdula. Serves you right for believing the U.S. Haven't you learned anything from Gulf War One, or from what we did to Vietnam? We, the new Illuminati, don't believe you are human enough to understand freedom or dignity. We don't care that the Islamist murders will take over your oil-rich country, kill you and your family, and join with a nuclear-armed Iran, and with Syria, to form a new base of world terrorism that will surpass anything Stalin or Hitler could have dreamed of. We will let our kids fight the nuclear war that we know will happen because of our cowar..er, I mean our enlightenment.

Get it, Abdula! We don't care if history will recognize us as cowards, traitors and people without honor, just as happened after Vietnam. Time heals all, and people are sheep--they actually will believe us after the new killing fields, and we will blame Bush. The only thing that matters to us is political power. Now get lost.

Sweden has accepted more Iraqi refugees than the U.S. has

And certain cities in Sweden are overrun by Muslim gangs, are no-go areas for police and fire, and have a massive spike in rapes. I really don't want us to repeat their mistakes. We're already seeing the effects of high concentrations of Somali refugees in some U.S. cities.

The best solution is to help them resettle to another Arab country. This keeps them in a culturally similar environment.

Can you recommend a nearby country that the US will not invade/bomb in the next 20-40 years?

Chris:

What evidence do you have that Swedish Muslim gangs = Iraqi refugees?

That's slander of the highest degree unless you can cite a source.

Why must the US take in every single refugee in the world?!
I agree with Chris that Arab refugees should be resettled in other Muslim countries to cushion the culture shock better.
