Iraqis in Jordan More Interested in US Elections Than Jordani Citizens

AMMAN – Democratic candidate Barack Obama supports putting a time frame for withdrawal of troops while Republican John McCain supports more troops in Iraq.
“The elections are so important to me. It means I either go back to Iraq or never. I follow them everyday,” Yousef Rabaii, a 42-year-old Iraqi who has been residing in Amman with his family for three years, said.
Rabaii said the two candidates do not usher in a secure and safer Iraq. However, he thinks a win by Obama is not a positive impact on Iraq.
“It is dangerous if Obama wins. If he withdraws troops, there will be more Iranian influence, which is worse than having more American soldiers,” said Rabaii, adding: “I hope Obama does not make it.”
Ali, a young Iraqi who lives in eastern Amman, said he awaits the results of the US elections more than political developments in Iraq.
“The US will have a strong say in how things in Iraq will turn out… If Obama wins, I will be eventually more encouraged to go back to my neighbourhood in Baghdad as occupation troops will leave,” said Ali.
Abu Dumou, a father of four who is currently residing with two of his children and wife in Amman, said he is indifferent to the US elections and who is the coming president.
“I do not expect any change whether the winner is Obama or McCain,” he said, adding: “In both scenarios, I will never go back to Iraq. What I want is to have my kids all with me and live in another country for good,” the 50-year-old father said with tears in his eyes.
A 35-year-old jobless Iraqi who identified himself as Ahmad said he will follow up on the elections because he is jobless. “I watch the news on elections because I have nothing else to do.”
Could it be his middle name?
Or maybe because he’s a lying black bastard. I can’t believe that just came out of my mouth. That proves I’m not a member of the liberal mainstream media. And Percy Sutton didn’t write Harvard a letter supporting me. And terrorists didn’t pay my college tuition.
I know, the Obama situation brings out the worst in me too. I only recently called someone (J Wright) a Black Racist…never used that term before (I let Lance vicariously speak for me).
It’s not over yet.
I predict it will take a few weeks to decide the election.
We already know Barry is a dick. He’s the biggest dick in the country…wish he’d just be happy to be President of the Peckerheads.
Language buffs like me will probably appreciate that I called him a lying black bastard. It’s descriptive and accurate without being offensive. And it’s close enough to being the truth without the slightest stretch of the imagination that many could shamelessly call it spot on.
Yes, I was going to say that nothing you stated is untrue. He’s black, he’s a big-ass liar and he had no real daddy.
But I should not of said that…it could bring me another 100 lashes.
Such simplicity and duplicity. It’s a fine day in November that we’ll all remember when Americans anointed Barack Obama, and in so doing proving we’re a people that hates 4-letter words (fuck, shit, piss, blow) and we love 6-letter words (vagina, change, Barack, leftie, darkie, nigger, terror, mumzer, hyphen (as in African-American).
Sorry to all you Iraqis in Jordan. Iraq is doomed to be another Vietnam…pussy Dems pull out after we’ve basically won the war just to make America look like losers. Iraq will now be Vietnam II.
The election results prove that allah (and mohamhead) is worthless. There is only one God, the God of Jews and Christians.
God ignores mooooslims and their barbaric ways. There will one day be another great flood and no boarding tickets will be dispersed to moooooslims.
And they’ll have a Hell of a time trying to stay afloat in those burqinis and robes.
