Iraq Soccer Captain-Agrees With Many Of Us: 'I Want America To Go OUT'
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.”

Worth remembering, especially where the "would you rather we left Saddam in power?" line shows up.

2. 'Invade?" Oh my dear!
Watch for Hannity to trash him unmercifully. "Hey you stupid soccer player, dontcha know we LIBERATED YOU?" (Colmes tosses flowers and chocolates)
