I swear. Fox News is a secret underground nazi propaganda machine, though.
NBC's Jim Lampley on air during olympic coverage:
| Quote: | Within the last 24 hours, the online newsletter the Drudge report published a story indicating that president George W. Bush may attend an Iraqi soccer game here in Greece. As you can imagine, the trip was being planned in secret. The Iraqi soccer story has become one of great interest as the team, unheralded just ten days, has stunningly played its way into the Olympic semi-finals. According to "drudge," president bush would arrive in time for the gold medal game here in Athens next Saturday, should the Iraqis make it that far. However, Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman, appearing on Meet the Press this morning, told Tim Russert that he knew of no plans by the president to go to the Olympics.
Two things we can add to a possible U.S. presidential visit: Given the already tightly-stretched security situation here in Athens, his presence would probably not be a welcome sight for those entrusted with the complex security operation already in place here. Despite their warm feelings for the American people, polls in Greece show a wide majority of the Greek population do not approve of president Bush, his administration and its policies. Probably meaning, added and extraordinary security measures would be needed.
Second, and perhaps more pointedly, the Iraqi soccer players, the supposed focus of this surprise visit, have been outspoken in calling on president Bush to stop using them as election-related fodder. Said one Iraqi mid fielder, "Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the presidential campaign. He can find another way to advertise himself." The Bush campaign has run ads in which the flags of both Iraq and Afghanistan appear and the narration mentions that two more free nations are participating at these Olympics. Later today, the State Department announced that secretary of state Colin Powell will represent the United states at the closing ceremony next Sunday. |

just as an aside-
I think I hate Jim Lampley more than any other sports commentator on the planet.

ugh i can't stand Lampley - that dude is always trying to say something profound, instead of just reporting what he sees.
