So what do Iraqis have to say about President Obama’s newest surge — in Afghanistan? Writing for the Iraqi News Agency, Mahmoud Ibrahim Al Hoyan has penned a reaction reminiscent of the kind of content we were translating back in the dog days of Fallujah — full of blood, Satan and brimstone. The lingering anger and resentment at the United States is palpable, and there are shades of Iran’s state-run press as well.
For the Iraqi News Agency, Mahmoud Ibrahim Al Hoyan writes of the Americans, in part:
“You see them in full regalia — and no one can top them for protocol, their halls full of American flags and adorned with stars. They’re not ready to help the world or lend a helping hand, but to harvest more souls, destroy more countries and trample other peoples underfoot. … The world sees these idiotic strategies and the genius employed for the sake of destruction. Just look at Washington’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan and order more nations to follow suit – and who dares say no to Uncle Sam?”
Of Obama, Mahmoud Ibrahim Al Hoyan writes in part:
Only weeks ago Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and his grin was even wider. But behind that smile is concealed some very sharp teeth.
The question is, Mr. President Obama, are you as you said upon accepting the Peace Prize and Nobel scepter, a peace maker? How would you feel if you were one of the soldiers whose evident fear of death was etched on their faces as their president ordered them to fight, while members of your family prepared turkey dinner to celebrate the holidays with you?
Yes — it’s a rush to harvest more souls, thus committing more sins about which Christ, peace be upon Him, warned: Thou Shall Not Kill! Thou Shall Not Kill! Thou Shall Not Kill!
The Lord in which all heavenly religions believe and who sent all the prophets calls for peace and refuses and even prohibits murder – is that not so? None of the religions of history invite people to kill and destroy, but these are the teachings of the extremists in the White House. They’re the ones that distort the commandments of the Lord and make Satan their master, who is the source of their teachings.

Iraq – Iraqi News Agency – Original Article (Arabic)
The world has lived for over two decades with the great curse of America, a nation that after approving decisions that have gradually drowned other peoples and nations in blood, doesn’t want to wash its hands of evil.
