| Iraq unloads on CPT |

| TORONTO -- Iraq's embassy to Canada lashed out at the Christian Peacemaker Teams Friday, calling them "phony pacifists" and "dupes" after the anti-war group responded to the rescue of three of its kidnapped activists by condemning the U.S.-led military intervention in Iraq. In a statement obtained by the National Post, the Iraqi embassy called CPT "willfully ignorant" and "outrageous," and accused the Chicago-based group of being on the side of anti-democratic forces in Iraq. "The Christian Peacemaker Teams practises the kind of politics that automatically nominate them as dupes for jihadism and fascism," the embassy's statement said. "The statement shows they even share the rhetoric of the jihadists, even if they do it out of naivete. Despite their claimed affinity for 'non-violence,' this is false. "Politically, they are on the other side of this war. Christian Peacemaker Teams are objectively on the side of the fascists, Saddam Hussein's loyalists and al-Qaida in Iraq. "It is abundantly clear that Christian Peacemaker Teams are opposed to and, in effect, at war with Iraqi democrats, Americans, the British, and the rest of the multi-national Coalition." I wonder what they think of McCain & Feingold. |

| #3 Hear! Hear!, for the Iraqis. It is very important that they speak out in their overseas embassies against those that oppose them. Lots of mainstream people who are dubious about their own government will actually listen when an Iraqi ambassador stands up in their country and tells them what's what. ASAP they should open up embassy annexes in parts of the US where there are large Iraqi expat communities. Then, whenever some fifth columnist like Cindy Sheehan opens up her yap in their area, they could be johnny-on-the-spot with a rebuttal in the local area news. These annexes would also be a great way to reconnect their expats with Iraq, which could have all sorts of positive, long-term benefits for both countries. |

| #1 Appropiate and welcome statement from the Iraqis puts these assholes in perspective and removes any moral imprimature sought by the Islamo-remoras |
