Scott Pelley On The Plight Of Iraqis Who Helped The U.S.

[birnco]

A big concern is how many of those Left Behind are believers of the Islamic Sharia Law? What was their motivation for siding with the US? Certainly it was to help overthrow SH. But, are they secular in their religious beliefs? A huge influx of today's refugees is different from Ford's exodus. Many American's are extremely Islamaphobic. Strategically complicated for our national security and morally damaging for our country's image.

Scott Pelley, How many Iragi naitonals do you want to move into you town since you seem to think we're not doing enough? I can't believe I even watch 60 minutes once in awhile it is so left it makes me sick.
No wonder the evening news is doing so poorly.

i sometimes cannot believe the stupidity and shortsightedness of the government bureaucracy. we have a shortage of arabic speaking translators to help the state dept and CIA in the fight against terrorism. Here you have a proven, loyal group of people that have risked their lives as translators to fight the war on terrorism and we refuse their entry into this country. It's a win-win situation for everyone and clearly the right thing to do to allow thm to come here. No wonder so much of the world feels the way the do about us.

While the assistance from the Iraqi nationals is appreciated we should not be expected to allow them to move to our country. They should be willing to fight for their own country. If the people that continue to complain about the situation over there would band together and actually do something then they could make their country whatever they want it to be instead of over populating our country and causing our economy to strain by living off of our government. FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND LET OUR TROOPS COME HOME!!!!
