Iraqi athletes object to Bush campaign ad
Soccer players say president shouldn't exploit their success


Darn, doesn't it ruin your day when you liberate a country and they're SO ungrateful? Hmmm, I wonder why they're so anti-Bush....


Updated: 10:15 p.m. ET Aug. 21, 2004ATHENS, Greece - Iraqi soccer players reacted angrily Friday after being told that their nation's Olympic participation was mentioned in TV commercial by the re-election campaign for President Bush.

The players called on Bush to stop using them to win votes in the United States.

“Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign,” midfielder Salih Sadir was quoted as saying. “He can find another way to advertise himself.”
