I was for 'em before I was against 'em.

I swear I've heard that somewhere before...

[txrangerette]

I usually agree with you, but if
quoted correctly, one or more said
they want to kill American troops.
And implied they will when they
go home.

Can't post any link, but it was
on other threads for several days.

[CWOJackson]

That sounds more like what a lot of Freepers would say, not the Iraqi athletes. If they had indeed said something like that it would be headlines everywhere.

If they lose, we should cut off their feet ... just to make them feel at home.

[DAC21]

I'm sure we can dig up some Uday DNA, and get to cloning for a welcome back party.

[atomicpossum]

Let the beatings begin....

[CWOJackson]

You gave me a great mental image. Think about a Marine walking into the locker room wearing an Uday mask.

"Good. With their recent comments about Bush and our country in general...I hope they get destroyed. Put them back on earth and get humbled."


May the lice of a one thousand camels infest their armpits.

Good. With their recent comments about Bush and our country in general.

It was two malcontents on the team. The media found them and amplified their comments.

I CURSE THEIR MUSTACHES!!!!

Let the bodies hit the floor?

[xm177e2]

One player said, and this is a confirmed quote, that he would be "fighting with the insurgents" if he wasn't in Athens playing soccer.

Notwithstanding what Uday did to soccer players.... what did Uday do to insurgents?

[BossLady]

Marine wearing Uday Mask....slaps hands together..."Ok people...let's get the underwear ready for application....."

What do the rest of the team think? Why doesnt the rest of them condemn their opinions to the press? Until then, their silence is defeaning.

[CWOJackson]

Now the mental image is getting strange...but funny as all heck.

[FireTrack]

The Iraqi team should have to walk out with PANTIES over their heads to hide the shame they've brought on their country.

[Dane]

Yep, especially the media's. All that was amplified were the comments of the two malcontents.

[norton]

"..they do NOT speak for the majority of the countrymen anymore than Babs or Michael Moron do for us..."

True,
but also like Babs and friends, they do speak for those lucky enough to be out in public, making relatively great money, having reputations that will now carry them to much better futures than their neighbors, and they also, like Michael Moore, think they did it all by themselves.

Of course, being a self-defined self-made hero, a wealthy man or woman because they 'deserve it', also makes one a self justified champion of the little guy, hater of capitalism/imperialism/Bush...who just has to shoot off his or her mouth about it.

You think its hard for the "good" iraqis to have a press conference at the olympics and not get covered by any news paper? I would find that hard to imagine EVERY news outlet would ignore such a presser.

[MikefromOhio]

TAKE THAT BACK

ITS NOW 3-0

THEY MESSED WITH THE KARMA AND NOW THEY ARE LOSING BECAUSE OF IT!!!!!
