The Iraqi soccer team is less than thrilledM that President George Bush is using their nation's Olympic team as a reelection tool
Ahmed Manajid, who played as a midfielder on Wednesday, had an even stronger response when asked about Bush's TV advertisement. "How will he meet his god having slaughtered so many men and women?" Manajid told me. "He has committed so many crimes."
One player from Fallujah had a cousing killed by the Coalition while fighting as an insurgent. He claims this if he weren't playing soccer, he would be fighting the American too.
"I want to defend my home. If a stranger invades America and the people resist, does that mean they are terrorists?" Manajid says. "Everyone [in Fallujah] has been labeled a terrorist. These are all lies. Fallujah people are some of the best people in Iraq."
