Iraqis Call Shuttle Disaster God's Vengeance

Sat February 1, 2003 02:08 PM ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Immediate popular reaction in Baghdad on Saturday to the loss of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew -- including the first Israeli in space -- was that its was God's retribution on Americans. "We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said.

"God wants to show that his might is greater than the Americans. They have encroached on our country. God is avenging us," he said.

Car mechanic Mohammed Jaber al-Tamini noted Israeli air force Colonel Ilan Ramon was among the dead when the shuttle broke up shortly before its return to earth.

"Israel launched an aggression on us when it raided our nuclear reactor without any reason (in 1981), now time has come and God has retaliated to their aggression," Tamini said.

They sure picked a bad time to hurl insults. We're in a bad mood.

No more inspections. No more UN debate. The peaceniks and the RATS can go be human shields if they want, because we should just blast those bastards back into the Stone Age.

I knew these evil people would be saying this. So glad that our President quoted the scripture he did during his address to the nation.

Those sorry bastards are about to know about God's revenge.......they only got a small dose the last time they faced the "mother of all battles" in which they promptly turned into running cowards.

I was waiting for their depraved comments. They are so predictable.

And I suppose, Saddam, holding a hot iron to a child is God's will too?
