IRAQ THE MODEL
Saturday, August 21, 2004
Hurray!
Iraqi football team won against Australia 1-0 to reach the semifinal for the first time in Iraq's history. Now we are going to play for a medal! Iraq has one medal only in her Olypic record; a bronze one that we won in weight-lifting back in 1960.
This is the *BEST* acheivment Iraq has ever acheived in soccer. Strange isn't it!? Not to me! I really expected that despite the difficult life in Iraq that our athletes were going to perform better than ever, and I believe it's the effect of freedom.
Right now there is lots of shooting into the air (I don't like it but at least Iraqis are happy and it's better to waste bullets this way).
I know some of our American friends are upset with the Iraqi team because of the latest comments of some players, but this is Iraq, not 1 or 2 players and the player who said these terrible words didn't even play! I wish you could forget that idiot and join us in our celebrations, as the truth must be said, it's a victory that you helped in in so many ways.

Thanks for posting that.
I am amazed at the uncritical and almost hysterical responses here. Exactly the sort of responses the Media Rats were hoping to engender.
OK - OK - once again bamboozled by the media - I wish the reporter for the article I posted would have been a little more objective.
Sometimes I don't know what or who to believe anymore - where the hell is the objectivity in reporting anymore?
Thank you -- glad I read your post. I feel much better now.
Oh, a big mouthed bench warmer.
