We wondered where AP reporter Matthew Lee, the pet of the International Rescue Committee and Refugees International, had gotten to. I hadn’t seen his monthly sob story for awhile about how we weren’t bringing enough Iraqi refugees to the US. Here he says the Bush Administration actually surpassed its goal for FY 2008, but Bush continues his stinginess for only increasing the goal for upcoming FY09 by only 5000 to a total of 17,000.

“Now that systems are finally in place to process greater numbers of vulnerable Iraqi civilians, an increase of only 5,000 next year seems particularly meager,” the International Rescue Committee said in a statement late Tuesday.

His buddies in the refugee industry want the US to resettle 100,000 Iraqis HERE!

This particular link to Lee’s AP story comes to us from a Charleston, WV newspaper, which I thought was kind of amusing because I bet most West Virginians have never even seen a refugee. West Virginia is one of a handful of states that takes only a tiny number of refugees—in fact WV took NONE in FY 2006 and 2007! And from 1983-2005 the state took 404, yes 404, when we brought millions to the US in that time frame. (Numbers available here) Could senior DEMOCRATIC Senator Bobby KKK Byrd have some say in this?

It’s kind of like Senator Joe Biden who sponsored the original Refugee Resettlement Act of 1980 with Senator Ted Kennedy. Biden is also advocating for bringing more Iraqis to the US, but NOT to Delaware! Delaware ranks in the bottom three states for number of refugees resettled.

If you would like to see our archive of Matthew Lee’s indepth (NOT) reporting on refugees go here.

P.S. None of these refugee advocacy groups pushing more Iraqi refugees, or Lee, ever mention the truly vulnerable Christian Iraqis. I wonder why that is? Not politically correct to point out that Muslims are persecuting Christians?

It would be very interesting having a separate section devoted to the backgrounds of these biased reporters. For instance where do they come from? What radical groups do they possibly associate? What is their political affiliation?

Amen!

Turndown and/or blue have a couple of newspaper aggregation sights that I sent them and it has all that info and more.

Mine went away in the great hard drive meltdown so I am operating on human memory power for now.

I will look around later.

Then he crammed Obama’s words of HOPE down everyone’s throat, saying we’re not hearing about this “HOPE” that Obama promoted over the last two years. (in such a skillful way..said tongue and cheek, the interviewer never picked up on it.) He said, “We need to hear more in a hopeful way Obama is going to get us through this time…” (seeing Obama is getting a little too comfortable blaming the economy for not getting things done that will actually help people.)

Bravo, Bill… Bravo for running the minefield and surgically blowing up Obama’s message of HOPE and CHANGE as the biggest hoax perpetrated on the public, in the history of the World in a single interview.

I was speculating the other night on how the republican party will counter Mr Obama, and this is in line with what I thought they might do.

Is this from the latest Newsmax Letter? I deleted mine so can’t check and can’t remember any of the actual text.
