100,000 Iraqi citizens are leaving the country per month

Josh Marshall:
"...According a recent UN report, approximately 100,000 Iraqis per month are leaving the country. And an average of 2,000 per day are streaming out into Syria (the rest appear to be leaving through Jordan, approximately 1,000 per day according to this Brookings report). Bear in mind that Iraq is a country of just under 27 million people. So in demographic terms, that amounts to something like arterial bleeding."
