"Also, while government officials refer to 500,000 or even 1 million Iraqis in public statements and requests for aid, a recent survey done by the Jordanian Department of Statistics and the Norwegian organization Fafo indicated there were probably only 161,000 Iraqis still in Jordan. The UNHCR has registered fewer than 60,000 refugees and asylum seekers."

I had a feeling those refugee numbers were being Lanceted.
Good things are happening in Iraq Mojo. The U.A.E. wouldn't be getting on board unless they were sure al Qaida was whipped. Clinton was going to bomb bin Laden in Afghanistan back in '99,but a U.A.E. plane was spotted nearby,and the CIA was afraid we'd kill half the Royal family.
Obama said something the other day about ending the war in Iraq when he takes office. It sounded stupid. I know there wasn't an official end to "the war" in Iraq,but it ain't happening today,LOL.
Series of interviews with Iraqi teenagers.

That's great news from Mosul. I didn't think it would happen that quickly!
What do you think of those refugee numbers from Jordan Mojo? Either the numbers were inflated all along,or Iraqi's have returned home in large numbers.
Not sure what to make of the refugee numbers, Maury. Big difference between 161,000 and 1 million. It's possible that many Iraqis who went to Jordan have moved on to western countries, like my second cousin did.
Well, it took them long enough, but I'm glad to see the other Arab governments are coming around.

OMG! The A New York Times reporter ‘outed’ a CIA operative. Stop the presses! We need an investigation. We need months of front page headlines from the MSM. Who perpetrated this devious anti-American act? We need congress to open a special investigation and get to the bottom of this outrage.
"on the other hand 24Steps was a small man with a big ego, very serious and with this air like he wants to change the whole world by himself, unfortunately he lacked the charisma to sell that, either personality-wise or ideas-wise, while I found this trait to be unlikable on the personal level, it'd be interesting to see what happens to this determination afterward"

I kinda pictured 24steps that way myself...and I never met the dweeb.
I'll never forget 24's post in which he said that I've claimed to know more about Iraq than he and BT.
Yeah,he's a real expert on Iraq Mojo. This is classic 24steps to nowhere goobleygook.
"Do you realize where Iraq is heading, or has been heading for a while? It is going down. Chaos, killings, car bombs, civil war, instable government, cholera and now scabies. In a few months, if this did not stop, Iraq will be wiped out of the map. It will be only a black hole on the planet.
15,000 persons with scabies! This is 15,000 lives and 15,000 futures. It is 15,000 families that were killed before they were born."
