‘Splain to me Why THIS Picture


…would be used to illustrate this point…

The global refugee population has begun to rise for the first time in four years, largely due to instability in Iraq, a US group said in a survey, which saw refugee protection deteriorating by all measures.

…when it’s: a) Indonesia and b) 3 YEARS old? The “group” doing the survey says displaced Iraqis abound in Jordan and Syria as of this past year. But I guess not one refugee drew pictures ~ or ones that suited ~ for a new AFP photo op.

    The irony is, the guys doing the displacing are FROM Jordan and Syria. Anyone looking for the foreign interlopers driving decent Iraqis from their homes need look no further than the imported jihadists.

    Sure they do. They’re Ba’athists looking for the privileges to which they’re accustomed.
