Iraqi Olympians tell Bush not to use them in his Campaign Ads

[Red Dawn]

"Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign," Sadir told SI.com through a translator, speaking calmly and directly. "He can find another way to advertise himself."

Ahmed Manajid, who played as a midfielder on Wednesday, had an even stronger response when asked about Bush's TV advertisement. "How will he meet his god having slaughtered so many men and women?" Manajid told me. "He has committed so many crimes."

Hmmm....maybe we should dig up Uday and put him back in charge of the Iraqi Olympic teams.

In fact, Manajid says, if he were not playing soccer he would "for sure" be fighting as part of the resistance. "I want to defend my home. If a stranger invades America and the people resist, does that mean they are terrorists?"

Maybe Rove can dig up some stuff to show he is anti-Iraq and the "Pickup truck Iraqis for Truth" can come out with an ad to attack him. The nerve of him...

So it seems that along with being misled by this Administration about Iraq's threat to us we were also misled about the Iraqi's welcoming us as liberators. Man Chalabi really earned his pay working for the Iranians.

And maybe you should pause for a moment and listen to what this young Iraqi has to say. It's his country, after all.

Minor detail . . . this plebe should bow down and kiss Bush's boot heels. If it wasn't for the White Man's Burden being dutifully carried about by the great leader Bush . . . Iraq would be a shell of a country . . . oops nevermind.

Kerry also prefers not to be in 75% of bush's ads.

Too late.

Kerry is his own worst enemy on that account. Granted, Bush is EVERYBODY'S worst enemy.
