Well, they ought to express some gratitude for not having to face one Uday after their inevitable Olympic loss... Or are they complaining about lost motivation?

"Iraq's footballers once lived in fear of Uday Hussein, the son of toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, who used to beat the soles of their feet or throw them in prison for slip-ups on the pitch."
How quickly some people forget. Speaking of Uday, I have often wondered why we didn't build a giant granite latrine over his and his brother's graves? They weren't soldiers, so it wouldn't violate the precious geneva convention.

Thanks for the ping. I was very disappointed when I read their remarks so at least this offers a bit of perspective if not any clarification from the players themselves.

"Hamd was quoted as saying: "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?"
Uhh..Hamad maybe you should take that up with your "foreign fighters", your Bathist dead- enders and your other fellow country men that are doing all the shooting ! Duh!!! Did we "kill enough" ? I don' think so...it was a mistake to let whole companies of Iraqi soldiers to run away only to return to snipe and bomb our troops.

that is true but it's clear the players were baited with false information by the press - the focus of the ad is olympics from past to present and includes the Iraq + Afghani flags, not a focus on the Iraqi soccer team as was suggested to them in the most unflattering of terms (as to induce the desired reaction, which they got). Just the press working overtime, in a all corners of the media or world, they're doing their duty for the Kerry campaign.

Odd, since by the report I heard, the Iraqi team got flown out of Baghdad on American military aircraft to even BE at the Olympics.

Are they so blind that they do not see the irony of their own words?
The very 'freedom of speech' that they are exercising was given to them by President Bush.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach; Steven W.
I agree that the reporter was probably fishing for specific answers and tailored his question accordingly.

Of course, no comprehension of WHY we would free their country, why our men worked their hearts out to bring them electricity, water, food, and why OUR BLOOD was shed for the ingrates to hate us.
Do those people have any comprehension of love, honor, respect, and the right of a nation to defend itself against a dictator that wants to use WMD?
All I see of them is that they hate. Hate the ones that bring them freedom, laugh when those fighting for their freedom are killed, and that they honor any murdering slime dictator or terrorist.
I am highly disappointed in them and I no longer wish to see the Iraqis win in the Olympics. They can get to work to pay us for the money we spent rebuilding their country and their schools. Let them mount their own tanks to keep the would-be dictators from mowing down their children.

They are lucky Bush was president--if CryBaby Kerry had of been president, they may be getting their feet beaten at this moment. They should count their blessings.
