WHAT am I missing here?

Do we have no influence on the Iraqi govt? Is there nothing we can do?
I just can not figure this one out....call me naive, or dumb, but I just can not figure this one out.

You can be sure that Obama won’t let them in. They are not Muslim, and they are not Mexican.

The majority of Christians left BEFORE we went into Iraq. I'm not sure the numbers are real.

This is a terrible consequence of a Muslim Government.

We will send more money to Iraq and ignore the plight of Christians.

That is what we will do.

If Christians are smart they will leave. The Koran tells the Islamics to convert them or destroy them. We call Islam a religion of peace and send them more money so they can destroy more Christians.

Obama invites thousands of Islamic Palestinians to come to America, but there in no room at the Inn for Christians.

Just as FDR turned away the Jews during WW2 we turn our back on Christians in Islamic countries.We ignore their plight because we want to suck up to the Muslims and send them oil money that should be spent drilling for oil right here.

Hussein was as rotten an SOB as anyone who ever lived , but he did tolerate Christians.

I suppose it is ok because right here in thios country Christians or rather Christianity is under attack too, By the ACLU, the Media, Atheists and Heathen Liberals who wish to kill the unborn.

Like it or not, Saddam Hussein was actually good for Christians in Iraq.

Best Christians get out now while they can. There's no doubt at all this area is going to get burned over by nukes.

Soon, Iraq's Muslims will find out the mistake they made. They were silent when the Jews were murdered and driven out. They were silent when the Christians were murdered and driven out.

They'll be silent when the Muslims are murdered and driven out by AQ in Iraq so that they can create the Iraqi Caliphate.

If anyone is deprived of their GOD-GIVEN rights, then all can be deprived of them.

After 9/11, as President, I would have cleaned house of Islam from Morocco to Indonesia to Mecca.

Most Muslims are peaceful. They let 10% do the dirty-work for them.

We wanted democracy for Iraqis.

Here’s the result.

However: suppose we replaced the Christian ex-patriots with
Palestinians, and allowed these Christians to take over the homes the Palis vacated ?

Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.


...It's gonna go down over there soon. Slimes with nukes??? Just a short matter of time.

Just as predicted: as the US pulls out, the vacuume left allows the old ways to come right back in.

That is a rather large exaggeration. Saddam was not “good” for or to Christians. He was just not as bad as those in power now. Not all can afford to pay protection money now....

Iraq is an Islamic Republic. After we leave expect Islamic f=fundamentalists to take control. I fear we have exchanged one evil (Saddam) for an even greater evil.

Actually, Saddam didn't treat Christians much different than he treated Muslims. He wasn't a Muslim fundamentalist - one of his few virtues.

They are not Somali either but I bet if they were let in they wouldn’t be involved in the prostitution of young women, terrorist plots or damning the country that took them in.

Damn I was just thinking the same thing, I think Iran will nuke Iraq or one of the American bases if push comes to shove.

Genesis 16, you can’t and won’t ever tame the Arab. He’ll kill you and then turn on other Arabs.
