It is long past the time for this administration to take action and acknowledge the severe humanitarian consequences of its policies. whether in Iraq. or at our shores where the persecuted are seeking refuge. Providing for the safety of our Iraqi allies is only one aspect of an increasingly severe humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Refugees International recently reported that in the vacuum left by the failure of the Iraqi government to address the plight of millions of its internally displaced citizens. various nonstate militias are providing assistance to those who are suffering. By the reports account. these militias are finding fertile ground for recruiting among this population. with the Shiite Sadrist movement now being the "main service provider" to displaced Iraqis. We have been pressing the administration for some time to acknowledge this crisis and to make increased efforts to assist those Iraqis who have been internally displaced or who have left the country.
