We'll leave as soon as you, or we, step up and kill Al-Sadr.

[jocon307]

We should throw the ungrateful pig in the first shredder we can find.

[Slump Tester]

screw the ungrates! Too bad they can't get a visit from Uday when they lose.

[SF Republican]

What is freedom when I go to the stadium and there are shootings on the road just like it is in America or any other free place in the world. In most countries it is called crime, I believe you call it religion.

[clintonh8r]

Maybe Uday was right....

[Happygal]

This amazes me. When Uday Hussein was in charge, the soccer team was routinely tortured when they lost.

A late friend of my family, and former Tanaiste (Vice President) of Ireland, Brendan Corish once said, and I think it's appropriate here: 'Never do anyone a favour, because they'll never forgive you for it'.

Iraqi footballers' fury at Bush

Thanks to President Bush and several hundred thousand American soldiers, he now lives in a country where he has to freedom to express such ungrateful crap without fear of retribution.

[roses of sharon]

Bush is showing ads in Greece?

Or did Al Jezz hire a Sports writer from SI?

Hopfully these people, and their young, will get away from the indoctrination of the ME terrorists.

If the world-wide leftist reporters will allow it, after all, they use Muslims, Arabs, and Islamic cults, to fight their proxy war against Israel, the right, and American power.

......and another said he would be fighting US troops if not for Athens.

Perhaps this lowlife would prefer going back to the days when the soccer team was tortured (by Uday) after poor performances?

[Argus]

I see two players quoted, plus the coach. The normal soccer team fields, I think, eleven people. What do the other nine guys think?

Also, these players are in a very high profile position right now. It's dangerous to speak out in Iraq - family members are kidnapped, tortured, beheaded, bombed, shot. The police chief of Najaf saw his own father kidnapped in an attempt to intimidate him. These players are like witnesses at a Mafia trial. "I never saw Mr. Gotti do nuthin' wrong." I'd take everything they say with a giant helping of salt.

The Iraqi Secret police should arrest and torture this traitor immediately....

Oh that's right ...the USA got rid of the Secret Police and their torture squads...

Now even mullet heads like this guy can run their ungrateful yaps....without fear of being

lowered feet first into a shredder just because Uday didn't have his fiber for breakfast

Mr Manajid, from Falluja - a hotbed of armed opposition to the US-led occupation in Iraq - said if he was not playing football "for sure" he would be fighting as part of the resistance.

Manji, Manji, Manji, so your balling got in the way of your true calling of resisting the infidels! Spoken like a true patriot. FOR SURE!

"We don't wish for the presence of the Americans in our country. We want them to go away."

Well we don't wish for the presence of Arab Muslims in our country. We want them to go away!

Consider the source. The BBC butt boys will never "interview" an athlete that's positive toward liberation.

[jackbill]

The Iraq/Australia soccer game has just started. I'm rooting for the Aussies. To hell with the Ingrates.
