Iraq soccer captain: ‘I want America to go out.’
Yesterday’s win of the Asian Cup for Iraq’s national soccer team was
an “inspirational triumph for a team whose players straddle bitter and
violent ethnic divides.”
After the game yesterday, team captain Younis Mahmoud called for the
United States to withdraw its troops:
“I want America to go out,” he said.
“Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the
American people didn’t invade Iraq and, hopefully, it will be over
soon.”
Mahmoud also said he will not return to Iraq to celebrate.
“I don’t want the Iraqi people to be angry with me,” he said.
“If I go back with the team, anybody could kill me or try to hurt me.”

After what he said, you can be sure that the Bush Crime Family's taken
out a contract on the captain.
