2006-12-19
JOINT STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR ZALMAY KHALILZAD AND GEN. GEORGE CASEY ON IRAQÂ’S WINNING SILVER IN THE 15TH ASIAN GAMES IN DOHA, QATAR

BAGHDAD – On behalf of the United States Embassy in Baghdad and Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-I), we congratulate the Iraqi people on their national soccer team’s outstanding performance in the Asian Games. Their Silver Medal demonstrates the capabilities of the Iraqi people when they unite across sectarian lines for a common purpose.

We know these talented athletes are an inspiration to all Iraqis. We share their joy and excitement in celebrating this achievement.
