The Bush administration opened the nation's arms to as many as 27,500 endangered Iraqis who have rendered ''faithful and valuable service" to Uncle Sam since the invasion of Iraq.

I would think living in a newly free Iraq, purchased at the cost of 4k+ American lives & untold billions, would be compensation enough.

Besides, isn't our rescuing 27k Iraqis from who knows what send at odds with our claims of success over there?

I guess I'm just getting tired of America playing Santa to the world, usually at taxpayer expense.

I think this is the only thing I will ever agree with Kennedy on. They were in the service of the U.S. during a war and may be targeted by whatever external jihad group. A lot of Iraqis enlisted in the U.S. military and got trained here and in English.

I say they should be in our Border Patrol carrying AK-47s on foot; setting traps and ambushes for the malos cabrones.
