Free Iraq

"There is a carpet company in Switzerland that is owned by an Iraqi expatriate, Joseph Najib, who patented a prayer carpet that features an embedded compass which points to Mecca from any place in the world [as an aid to the Moslem when she/he prays].
Up to this point, this is a normal news item.
On May 26, 2005, this company received an order from the Pentagon to produce ten million such carpets:
- Five million of which are to portray two hands, shaking. On one hand, the American flag is embossed. On the other hand, the Afghani flag is shown, both under the caption: "A Gift from the American People".
- The other five million other carpets do also portray two shaking hands. However, while one hand does show the American flag, the other one is to portray the Iraqi flag, under the same caption: "A Gift from the American People".
These carpets are to be distributed to mosques and sacred pilgrimage sites to be delivered to the devout in Afghanistan and Iraq in order to embellish America's image to the Muslims in these two countries.
The Americans are trying to deceive the Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, with prayer carpets (in Arabic, my translation) May 30, 2005

These gifts follow previous friendly American carpet gifts that were greatly appreciated by their recipients, namely, carpet bombing distributed by your invited friend's air force.

They might as well have portrayed Bush's hand shaking Sharon's,
for the real message! .... While they both indulge in their Blood Flush
