Iraqis seeking U.S. refugee forced to apply in Syria, Jordan.

From Thinkprogress:

The Bush administration recently announced a stepped-up commitment to giving refuge to Iraqis who have worked for the United States and are now in danger. Yet very few have signed up for the program because “they are not allowed to apply in Iraq, requiring them to make a costly and uncertain journey to countries like Syria or Jordan, where they may be turned away by border officials already overwhelmed by fleeing Iraqis.”

Bush has no interest in helping these Iraq who helped the US. He knows they will be killed before they even get out of the country their in if they are identifed. His plan is to say he will help knowing nothing will happen.

The former Governor of New York did the same thing for the police/firefighers who needed health care.
