One more, I guess Carlos is on a roll! This from the Baptist press's Tim Ellsworth, talking about the Iraqi soccer team (I admit, I cheered for them). Evidenlty, Sir Tim was not happy when the Iraqis deigned to criticize Bush (who, in BP style, should be considered their Great White Stupid Father, I guess) and at that point decided that these Iraqis weren't smart enough to recognize how great Bush was. And he lost a lot of respect for these guys. I hope they can handle it!
Jesus Politics: The Baptist Press "Listens" to the Iraqi Soccer Team: "The Bad
This honor goes to the Iraqi soccer team. On one hand, the surprise performance of the Iraqis could be classified in the category above. But the minute some of the Iraqi teammates began criticizing President Bush, it changed my opinion of them completely.
“How will he meet his God having slaughtered so many men and women?” midfielder Ahmed Manajid said about Bush. “He has committed so many crimes.”
Memo to the Iraqi soccer team: If it weren’t for Bush, you’d still be under the rule of a murderous tyrant. Maybe the war in Iraq hasn’t gone as smoothly as both Americans and Iraqis hoped. But it did result in the ouster of Saddam Hussein and his sons, and the Iraqi soccer players ought to be a little more grateful to Bush for changing their lives for the better."
