The plight of Iraqi interpreters

Just another veitnam really isnt it, US couldnt get it's claws into this one either so they bailed on the whole fukin thing leaving whoever supported them(those stupid enough) to suffer the cosequences ie...total instabilty, power struggles and an insurgency.those asking the US not to leave are sadly having to ask the same people who caused this mess to now protect them from it.

The interpreters in Iraq are not only trying to help the Iraqi government, the Iraqi army and the Iraqi police. They are helping Americans communicate with the local population. I just came home from Iraq two weeks ago and the

people there were telling me they don't want the Americans to leave. It's not Iraq that the US is at war with it's the very real insurgency that is trying to undermine the country. This insurgency searches for interpreters to kill to discourage the others from helping through intimidation. How can you call someone a

traitor who has been fighting for years to help their own country AND the US. These people have shed blood for their freedom and are true patriots and I would call them my brothers just like my fellow Marines I served with. They deserve asylum and peace for themselves and their families. How can someone sit at home safe having sacrificed nothing and say otherwise?

hey you people keep in mind that we helped the both sides and whatever you say won't get us down ,we'll always be there , we have the skills what do you have ??? nothing but a dirty mouth

half what you said is true , and the other one(the last) is not

what you saing is not wrong but it is not like that,we interps speak English and arabic , who the hell would we interprt for? (iraqis and americans ) it is not helpping americans as it is in fact helpping our own iraqis.plus we fellow our covernement policy, I bet thet UR a democratic .

that was a smart idea i wish that some one will listen to you , god bless you

Wake up America. What if the US was invaded? What would your attitude be toward fellow Americans who served as interpreters for the invaders? These people were paid by a corrupt Bush administrations to betray their own. Let their own people judge if they should be protected. Its not our problem.

I am opposed to giving Iraqi interpreters and collaborators asylum in the U.S. for several reasons. They were well paid for their services, worked for the Bush administration and its misguided warmongers not the American people.If what they did was so good for their country why do they fear for their lives from their own people? If the US was invaded what would your attitude be toward another American who would aid a foreign occupier? I would call them a traitor.
