Oh SNAP! Iraq soccer player slams Bush* for exploiting team in ad |

http://si.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=SI.com+-+Writers+-+Wahl%3A+Iraqi+soccer+players+upset+about+Bush+campaign+ads+using+team+-+Thursday+August+19%2C+2004+1%3A24PM&expire=-1&urlID=11378495&fb=Y&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsportsillustrated.cnn.com%2F2004%2Folympics%2F2004%2Fwriters%2F08%2F19%2Firaq%2Findex.html%3Fcnn%3Dyes&partnerID=2356In those spots, the flags of Iraq and Afghanistan appear as a narrator says, "At this Olympics there will be two more free nations -- and two fewer terrorist regimes." "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."

5. National Play? Only in Free Countries...not nations like Imperial Amerika |
|
Don't hold your breath waitring to see this on O'Reichley or AEI Schneider.

3. Do we ever clean up our vehicles when they have been bombed? |
|
Or are they left on the side of the road as art?

10. Sports Illlustrated is a good place for this to appear |
|
A lot of beer-guzzling couch-potato white guys read SI. (Apologies to any DUer who reads SI and doesn't fit this profile). What I'm trying to say is that a lot of SI readers are the same demographic that votes heavily for Bush - middle aged white men.

8. No the freepers have turned on them |
|
Instead of rooting for them now, wanting to play the US anthem with theirs at the gold medal ceremony now they are insurgent towelheads again.

9. Last I saw the freepers were saying to nuke them all |

I don't recall ever seeing Iraq or any country in the middle east get any love over at FR.

11. The soccer team was big proof that Bush 'liberated' them |
|
As per Bush's using them in an ad. Now they've turned on one of their big symbols of 'freedom'.

12. This is great, and I have even more respect for the Iraq soccer team. |
|
They are disconnecting themselves with * and the worst things he stands for.
This really took courage on their part, and I salute them for it.
