Sustainable Crisis


The Warpublicans claim that we're surging ever so much closer to "sustainable stability".  Meanwhile the people of Iraq are surging straight into a humanitarian crisis

About 8 million Iraqis — nearly a third of the population — need immediate emergency aid because of the humanitarian crisis caused by the war, relief agencies said Monday.

Those Iraqis are in urgent need of water, sanitation, food and shelter, said the report by Oxfam and the NGO Coordination Committee network in Iraq.

The report said 15 percent of Iraqis cannot regularly afford to eat, and 70 percent are without adequate water supplies, up from 50 percent in 2003. It also said 28 percent of children are malnourished, compared with 19 percent before the 2003 invasion.


To be fair, this could be part of a brilliant Warpublican strategy to win over hearts and minds while starving the torsos and heads.  Remember:  a weak, malnourished terrorist is less likely to "follow us home" and attack us in our sleep.  LOL!
