| Olymics not about politics - Iraq banned over political feud?
WTF? Lots of crap spewed out time and again about how everyone should shut their traps about politics, just hold hands, sing kumbaya, and watch the athletes do their thing - caus' the Olympics is all about sports don't ya' know.
Now the IOC tells Iraq to stuff it - don't bother sending your athletes to Beijing. Why? - Because of a political tiff between the Iraqies and the IOC, so much for the Olympics having nothing to do with politics. I guess that bit about politics don't matter only holds true for the 1.3 billion pound gorilla in the room? The Associated Press: Iraq banned from Beijing Olympics amid feud Quote:
Iraq banned from Beijing Olympics amid feud
