They also find it offensive that Bush is using their team for his own gain when they do not support his administration's actions in Iraq. "My problems are not with the American people," says Iraqi soccer coach Adnan Hamad. "They are with what America has done in Iraq: destroy everything. The American army has killed so many people in Iraq. What is freedom when I go to the [national] stadium and there are shootings on the road?"

Yes, they were MUCH happier having Uday torture and murder them. Stupid Bush stopping all that.

Way to ignore what is right in front of your eyes...

To a man, members of the Iraqi Olympic delegation say they are glad that former Olympic committee head Uday Hussein, who was responsible for the serial torture of Iraqi athletes and was killed four months after the U.S.-led coalition invaded Iraq in March 2003, is no longer in power.

So there's just no making some people happy then?

They have no chance of being shot on their way to the stadium by US forces... it's their fellow countrymen that seem to relish killing civilians.

N8's response is a classic example of someone who blindly follows the party, incapable of thinking for himself. I can't believe I actually visited this forum, won't be making that mistake again.

"Manajid, 22, who nearly scored his own goal with a driven header on Wednesday, hails from the city of Fallujah. He says coalition forces killed Manajid's cousin, Omar Jabbar al-Aziz, who was fighting as an insurgent, and several of his friends. In fact, Manajid says, if he were not playing soccer he would "for sure" be fighting as part of the resistance."

Well then, we now know who to throw out of the airplane on the way back from Greece... :dead:

See this is what happens when you elect someone that was a draft dodger during Vietnam. This is also what happens when you go to war with no exit strategy. Moral of this story, find someone who's qualified to preside.

Any chance of cloning Reagan?

Exactly. There must've been something amiss in the mix of his and Nancy's DNA from the way his kids turned out, though. No real option there and the current presidential legacy is probably not the ideal poster child for nepotism anyway.

I am really dreading the approach of November 2...
