Iraq 182

By Amir Nayef al-Sayegh (Trans.)

From graffiti seen in Baghdad and its environs between March 2003 and August 2004, collected and translated by Amir Nayef al-Sayegh.

Saddam swallowed all the pricks of the world, and he still said he was victorious.

A thousand curses on your mothers and fathers every day you cut the electricity, Saddam, you atheist without a water pitcher.

Bush the father freed Kuwait. Bush the son freed Iraq, then Syria, then Iran. Bush the grandson will free the whole world!

Saddam and Bush are a split shit: the smaller part fled away, and the larger one got bewildered and confused.

Only three will enter paradise: Bush and Blair and Bremer. [added later] The paradise of your sister’s cunt.

“Terrorism” is a drama play, its hero the criminal Saddam Hussein, its director damned Bush, its writer Bin Laden.

Patience, Baghdad, patience. Saddam is coming back soon! [added later] To finish off what remains of the Iraqi people, or to fuck your mother?

Saddam the disgrace! Your end is to be led like a dog by a black female soldier!

Marriage of the same sex became legal in America. Is this, with the mafia and drugs, what you want to bring to Iraq, Americans? Is this the freedom you promised?

Characteristics of the American conqueror:

—Liar like the Baathists, if not more

—Stubborn like a mule, if not more

—Hates clever people and the educated and capable ones, as if he were the very one who taught this to Saddam

—Loves the game of switching the electric power off and on again and practicing this sly childish harmful game on the Iraqis

—In his heart, he hates every Iraqi, Muslim, Christian, Baptist, Arab, Kurd, or even Turkman or Assyrian because the history of these peoples and their civilization is seven thousand years old, not two hundred.

Curse of God on all the peoples of the world, Western and Eastern, Northern and Southern, developed and undeveloped. May only Iraq and Islam live long!

Saddam, where is he? Is he eating on the W.C.? His own shit, or that of others?

This Kerry, what is he? Cheese or jam? Bush is made of steel and sharp. Don’t disappoint him, Americans!

Hey everyone, Saddam ate beans and emitted stinky air.

Gas makoo [“none”], work makoo, money makoo, water makoo, electricity makoo: we have exchanged dirt for a smell. Long live America!

Everyone wants to be president of Iraq, even the porters at the Sharjah Bazaar.

Long live Iraq as well as long live Islam, and fall down America, as well as fall down Saddam, for both are feces!

We will cut the head of the snake (Americans) after we complete cutting its tail (Baathists).

No to the faked, fabricated elections that are made in America!
