Iraqi soccer team exploitation

The players on the Iraqi soccer team are angry that their success is being exploited politically by the Bush campaign. One player was quoted as saying, "How will [Bush] face his god after having slaughtered so many men and women? He has committed so many crimes."

The Bush campaign continues to be blithely ignorant and opportunistic, saying that it is not about about politics, but "about the fact that our nation has been successful in helping spread freedom around the world." Yeah!? If Iraq is free, then it is a kind of freedom I could do without.
