Sunni Muslims gathered by the hundreds in Bagdad to celebrate the departure of U.S. troops. Meantime, a preacher at the nearby Abu Hanifa mosque accused Washington of dividing his country. Sheik Ahmed al-Taha called on his government to demand a payback.
Farewell To Arms?
A Muslim preacher in Bagdad
Says Americans caused a real mess
From the time they invaded his country
Right up to their recent egress.
He spoke as hundreds of Sunnis
Gathered to say their goodbyes;
Troops were on hand to keep order
But the preacher preferred to chastise.
He accused Uncle Sam of dividing
The people of his Muslim nation;
He says all Iraqis must call, now,
On America to pay compensation.
