Just look he got them back into the arab league and it's been like 40 years since they were, got them into NOW kuwaiti oil bidding and stuff. He got them out of  chapter 7.

 He got them into the international arab banking conference too for the first time in like approx. 12-20 yrs more like 20 something I can't remember the exact number and now he would bring them finally without sanctions their beloved soccer team to play the super bowl with Iraq and some other country for the title at home in Iraq for the very first time

I think this is great!  Not only will the government straighten up and play nice to host the games, hopefully the Iraqi people will stop their violence in order to set a good image for the neighboring/participating teams.  The political BS stops to get it done, the citizen violence towards each other stops to get it done!  Yay for football/soccer!!!!  You never know what insignificant things might spark progress.  Thanks Brisco for bringing this and thanks Bondlady for picking up on this interesting tidbit of news.
