U.S. admits few Iraqi refugees

From Times Wire Reports
The U.S. has taken in 190 Iraqi refugees since last year, according to a government document, despite government pledges to accept at least 2,000 by October.
The Bush administration admitted 57 refugees in July, six fewer than in June. With 190 admitted over the last 10 months, that leaves just two months for the administration to meet the current target. An estimated 50,000 Iraqis are fleeing their war-ravaged country per month.
