General David Petraeus, the new commander of US forces, spoke of "encouraging signs" in Baghdad. The US troop 'surge' has allowed hundreds of families to return to homes abandoned in the face of sectarian attacks, he claimed. But he was contradicted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who said that they have no credible evidence of any family returning to their homes from which they were forced to flee and staying. And so we have the incredible situation where the Americans have resolutely refused to do a body count of Iraqi deaths but feel obliged to tell the world that they know of returning refugees because they have counted them. archive.gulfnews.com

Meddling? As in preventing contraband: arms, ammunition, EAD's from going into Iraq and blowing off the limbs of their own, Americans and anyone attempting to assemble some sort of society out of this mess? Because, my friend, that exactly was what they were doing in Iraqi waters. If not for Iran, and Syria and quite, possibly Saudi,we would be out of Iraq by now and you and everyone else on this thread knows it. Oh, did I forget to mention spineless Europe? lazarre
