Progress in Iraq my ASS!!!

The Iraqi soccer team was thrilled to win the Asian Cup this weekend. Even the citizens of Iraq were excited, despite the hellhole bush has turned their country into. Check out the Iraqi captains remarks about winning and not being able to go home.
NOTE:It is the first 44 seconds of the video. The rest is highlights of the game.

3. The Regime must have mixed feelings about that
On the one hand, Yunnis Mahmoud has spoken out against the occupation and the Iraqi government installed by the Bush regime. Perhaps Mr. Bush would like to confiscate his property under his new EO.

On the other hand, Bush isn't likely to be able to hand over Iraq's oil to his cronies at Exxon, Chevron and Shell, so maybe he can settle for expropriating Iraq's soccer team. Such is conciliation for colonial pirates like Bush and his friends.

4. There is not doubt they need to go to a safe environment
and sadly Iraq is far from being that place.
