The only objective source of data out there is coming from the US military. Why? Because no one believes them. Everyone believes in the journalists, and what some so-called Iraqi with a press sticker on his tit says on camera, or some dumb ass babbling in his blog. Who has the REAL power to perpetuate propaganda? The US government? The US military? Or what Joe Muhammad Journalist Iranian stooge reports on Reuters? But you buy it. So when thousands flee Iraq, you think it's millions. When 20 people are killed, you think it's 100,000 people. It's all about trying to make what CAN happen into something that IS happening. And Iran wants you to believe it. Sure, Iran is doing it's damnest to influence Iraq with its al-Sadr lap dog. That's why we should fight them back politically in the region. That's why we must stay in Iraq, rather than Obama the hell out, and leave Iraq's oil for Iran to control, following a real civil war. By then, perhaps the 3 million brain drain figure will become true.
