Why have so few of them been admitted up until now? Because George doesn’t want them in the U.S. telling people how things REALLY are in Iraq?

Some 12,000 Iraqi refugees will be admitted to the United States over the next year as efforts to end long delays processing referrals from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees begin to take effect, government officials told reporters this morning.

The new target means that 18% of the 70,000 refugees expected to be admitted to the United States next year will come from Iraq, and would represent a significant increase in the number and pace of Iraqis being admitted, according to the officials from the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security.
