Letter to Secretary Clinton and Secretary Gates: Protect Displaced Iraqis

Dear Secretary Clinton and Secretary Gates:

As the U.S. military presence in Iraq shrinks over the coming year, Refugees International urges you to work together to ensure that there is sufficient support and protection for vulnerable displaced Iraqis, both inside Iraq and in neighboring countries. During the 2008 campaign, President Obama promised to “keep faith with Iraqis who kept faith with us […] Keeping this moral obligation is a key part of how we turn the page in Iraq.  Because what’s at stake is bigger than the war—it’s our global leadership.”
