| Pentagon making list of Iraqis who worked alongside U.S. forces after travel ban |
| 2017-01-31 |
| (Rooters) The Pentagon was creating a list of Iraqis who had worked alongside U.S. troops, which will be passed to agencies implementing President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s executive order restricting entry for people from Iraq and six other Moslem-majority countries, a front man said on Monday. A Pentagon front man, Navy Captain Jeff Davis, said that over the weekend the White House had "provided the opportunity" to submit names. "There are a number of people in Iraq who have worked for us in a partnership role, whether fighting alongside us or working as translators, often doing so at great peril to themselves," Davis told news hounds. "We are ensuring that those who have demonstrated their commitment tangibly to fight alongside us and support us, that those names are known in whatever process there is going forward," he added. It was unclear when the list would be complete and how many names it would include. Trump’s order suspending travel, which he signed on Friday, sparked anger in Iraq, where more than 5,000 U.S. troops are deployed to help Iraqi and regional Kurdish forces in the war against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... krazed killer group. Iraq asked the United States on Monday to reconsider the travel ban on its citizens, taking a more diplomatic line than the Iraqi parliament, which demanded the government retaliate. The Iraqi parliament called on the government to impose "similar treatment" on U.S. nationals. |

| #4 What is most unclear: why hasn't the list already been made (prior to the last election)? Why haven't most of these Iraqi allies been taken care of, years ago? |

| #2 Guess there's no payroll vouchers or collaborator registry for the construction, cooking and cleaning help. Used to be that money(cash) went to the local job boss who gave work to his family at half wages. Sometimes non-family would 'buy-in', giving direct paid wages back to the job boss. Never easy to manage local help. |

| #1 I hope they can manage to keep THAT list of names from getting hacked or leaked; would be very dangerous to good people and their families. |
