StevenSeagal Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Iraq Barred from Olympics I guess this really levels the playing field for the Grenade Toss, the 10000 yard dash, and Synchronized Beheadings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Esp. ironic considering the abuses the team endured under Saddam's son. Another international organization that's a total joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 "The Iraqi Olympic team was greeted with a roaring ovation at the opening ceremony of the Athens Games in 2004. That was the country's first Olympics after the fall of Saddam and Odai, who as head of the Iraqi Olympic committee tortured athletes who failed to reach his standards." To those who have endured so much, I have great sympathy. This is damn sad. I suppose they'll just turn a blind eye to that mu@&$^%er Robert Mugabe so he can keep on F*ing his people in the ass as he and his thugs manipulate the current election?
