Members of the Iraqi Olympic soccer team denounced Bush. Source: Ireland On-Line Members of the Iraqi Olympic soccer team criticized U.S. President George W. Bush over the war in Iraq. The Iraqi players branded U.S. President George Bush a “criminal” and called for American troops to withdraw from the war-torn country. Speaking after winning their group stage at the Games in Greece, one player said he would take up arms against U.S. troops in his country. The Iraqi team has also attacked Mr. Bush for running re-election campaign adverts featuring the Iraqi team. “Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign,” said midfielder Salih Sadir. “He can find another way to advertise himself.” Sadir was angered at Mr. Bush’s adverts, which show pictures of the Afghan and Iraqi flags with the words: “At this Olympics there will be two more free nations – and two fewer terrorist regimes.” “We don’t wish for the presence of Americans in our country. We want them to go away,” said Sadir, aged 21, whose home town of Najaf has been demolished by the war. Another star player, Ahmed Manajid, aged 22, said of Mr. Bush: “How will he meet his god having slaughtered so many men and women? He has committed so many crimes.” ,,,ah...actually this god tried to wipe us all out once....they should get on just fine. Manajid, from Fallujah, said he would be fighting U.S. troops right now if he were not at the Olympics. “I want to defend my home. If a stranger invades America and the people resist, does that mean they are terrorists? “Everyone (in Fallujah) has been labeled a terrorist. These are all lies. Fallujah people are some of the best people in Iraq.” In an interview with the U.S. magazine Sports Illustrated, the team coach Adnan Hamad spoke of the ongoing violence in his homeland. “My problems are not with the American people. 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 stadium and there are shootings on the road?” A spokesman for Mr. Bush tried to defend the war on Iraq and the campaign adverts, claiming that “the ad simply talks about President Bush’s optimism and how democracy has triumphed over terror,” The Iraqi soccer team has been one of the sensations of the Games, winning its group, despite a 2-1 defeat to Morocco in its latest game. The team will go on to play Australia in the quarter-finals on Sunday. ...I'm reminded of what first inepired me to sculpt...In the Mexico Olympics of 1966 (?)...two Black athletes, Tommy Smith and Juan Carlos were thrown out of the Games for raising black gloved fists, in solidairty with the battles for Civil Rights in America, during the awards ceremony...today's Iraqi team spoke out on behalf of half the world's population of poorer Darkies when they protested American Corporate Power..that's all this freedom and democracy bullshit is. There is no Terror on earth today like American Corporate greed backed by the strongest and most ruthless Military the world has ever seen. Look at what the bastards have done to their own employees at home..this is a recipe for disaster for a country that had the brightest future of many on earth. --------------------- |
