BIDEN QUESTIONS PATRAEUS / REDUNDANCY MEETS VAGUENESS WHILE IRAQ COLLAPSES
How can the Patraeus hearings be taken seriously when no one asked Patraeus about the massive humanitarian crisis in Iraq ~ where over five million Iraqis have been displaced. It was all political posturing featuring Biden's redundancy and Patreaus's vagueness while Iraq continues to collapse: Allen L Roland
Here's a brilliant Scott Bateman three minute video ( courtesy of Salon ) where Senator Biden takes almost two and a half minutes to ask a simple question and is met by General Patraeus's purposeful vagueness. Click on the link ~

When General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker testified before a Senate Committee this week, they pointed to "security improvements" and a "drop in violence" in Iraq over the last year, but there was one issue never mentioned: that's the issue of Iraqi refugees.
According to the UN Refugee Agency and the International Organization for Migration, almost 5 million Iraqis have now been displaced by violence in their country. Over 2.4 million fled their homes for safer areas within Iraq, up to 1.5 million are living in Syria, and more than 1 million refugees fled to Jordan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey and the Gulf States. " I’ve just returned from Syria and Jordan where the influx of Iraqi refugees has created an enormous burden on these countries and is a massive humanitarian crisis. "
