- The men I work with are over here placing themselves in harms way and the translators are right there with us.
We must do wht is right. We have got to protect them. There is no excuse not to. Surely it is not a monitary issue, and providing them with security from insurgents can be done without putting national security at risk.

Thank you for your service! Vietnam vet myself. The sad truth is that it is a monetary issue, but more then that. George W Bush does not want the number of immigrants that would be coming over if we helped all of the Iraqi's who help us. He understands and trusts (to some degree anyway) Mexicans since he had to after moving from Connecticut to Texas, but he still has some racial (though more likely religious, since Mexicans are at least christian) animosity toward Muslims. Also as an added note, please understand that most of us opposed to the war do still support the troops. I know there are some who would have you believe that that's not possible, but as a vet myself I mostly support you in the sense that I want to see you come home to your family and not die needlessly in a war for profit. That is NOT supporting our troops. Stay strong and come home in one piece bro. That's the ultimate mission. - Reply to this comment
- I have just finished watching "Left Behind" and want to add my 2-cents worth. I am Staff Sargeant in the Illinois National Guard and am currently deployed in Iraq, where I am asigned to a Theater Internment Facility. We work with Iraqi translators every day. Not only do they make our job easier, but in some instances they help us avoid situations that can become very dangerous very quickly. This saves a lot of American soldiers lives.
Every year our government allows thousands of illegal aliens cross our souther border and remain to nurse on our welfare system. These people take and give back little if anything to the government. The translators I work with risk their lives daily to help us over here. The very least we can do is provide them protection. The men I work with are over here placing themselves in harms way and the translators are right there with us.

- Anyone else hear that click and then a gunshot? That was Jesus putting a bullet in his skull because he just couldn't stand to listen to one of lars (or singinslicks) psychotic prayers again. Poor bast*ard, I know how he feels. Whine, whine fu*cking whine! That's all these right wing Christians do! I mean it's either Jesus murder the Muslims or Oh god take us up to the rapture (which god has no idea of since the whole "rapture" was created in the mid1800's). Hell I'd get sick of their sh*it to if I was god. And then elected this moron Bush too! Talk about a why to pi*ss god off! Scheeeeeesch!!

- there is no peace with fascist nazi islam....
dnc are like john adams and want to give their lunch money to fascist nazi islam hoping they will leave them alone...
gop are like thomas jefferson and want to use their lunch money to kick fascist nazi islam's arse......
Thomas Jefferson knew about fascist nazi islam..... he killed plenty of them....
In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:
The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[1]

- what? they don't want to stay and fight and die for their country? put them out of their misery....
Patrick Henry
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 - Reply to this comment
- These must be the terrible men that the GOP tries to scare us with. " If we leave Iraq, they will follow us home". If these people who help us have no place in USA, they can stay at my home until they get on their feet.

- After invading Iraq as the ancient Barbarians in Europe, I feel "ashamed" as an American, for utilizing these Iraquis who assisted us there and now to see them going to neighboring countries where they can't even work... and now we don't allow them to come here as refugees? These are well educated people for the most part and would be an asset and positive contribution to our country--unlike what crosses the border now, whom many are illiterate or poorly educated in their own language and filling our jails. Enough is enough--just as the obituaries filled with American kids.....it's sickening to any person who has any level of decency.

- This was so obviously a manipulation piece to make the American public feel guilty and mad at the goverment. Scott Pelley's views were one sided - there are many other solutions to this problem aside from bringing 100,000 Iraqi' here.

LOL! This government of GW Bush's doesn't need any reports from Scott Pelley or anyone else to get the public mad at them. They're doing far to good of job of that themselves! - Reply to this comment
- Have no pity for such a little human. If he's been able to help our troops to get into Iraq, well he indeed is able to get ours out as well. Treason coould go both ways with such a little human.
What I regret most is our troops had to invade Iraq because it was an illegal action, use and abuse the life of such litte low humans, and not take responsibility of allowing this little human to asylum into USA. - Reply to this comment
- If we look back over our history we'll see that those immigrants who came to this country and worked to survive, thus becoming a true American, gained not only their neighbors respect but also a greater sense of self-respect for themselves. In today's times the social programs are too quick to hand immigrants everything they ask for simply because they don't speak the language. Wake up America - we can't continue to afford to support all the other nations! If these folks want to come to America and work to support themselves, then yes, let them come. But if we have to pay for them - let them stay. We can't afford the one's we're having to pay for now.
