Some Thoughts on the Shoe Throwing Jerk-Off
I am unsurprised that Baldi Locks wrapped the incident up so articulately.
The perfect farewell. Throw two shoes at the man who gave you the freedom, paid for in American blood, to attend a press conference in a country that just five years ago was a bloody dictatorship. Fucking ungrateful asshole.
Gotta love a woman’s more demure thoughts.
Quite naturally after his outburst on live television that embarrassed the Iraqi President, he was dealt with by the state.
He was dragged into the street where he was given the opportunity to watch his wife and daughters be gang-raped, sodomized and eventually killed. After which one of his sons was dragged to the scene of the carnage and beheaded on live television. This was followed by being forced to watch his mother slowly inserted into a wood chipper. The grand finale was this intrepid reporter being bound to a table and administered a Drano enema.
Or at least this is exactly what would have happened had this “journalist” ever had the balls to try that stunt with the former Iraqi administration.
I suspect that this assclown has terrorist connections. Might be a good candidate for a rendition.

This man is a coward, plain and simple. Why that isn’t the news story says more about our MSM than it does about the incident itself.
It’s sad — an honorable man is openly reviled for bringing freedom to a people brutally subjugated for years. This Arab dick wouldn’t dare throw shoes at any Arab leader or president.
I liked Michelle Malkin’s take on it with the Austin Powers clip. “I mean… who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a girl”
What freedoms has Bush brought to the Iraqi people?

It’s amazing how those responsible for making Iraq a better place in the process, are held in contempt instead of praise for enabling an environment where this shoe-tossing idiot won’t be disemboweled and left on his family’s doorstep.
I’d like to see that stupid, ungrateful sonofabitch try that shit on a Soldier, or better yet, explain why he never attempted that at Saddam Hussein.
GI JANE:
Just how is Iraq a better place? Millions of innocent civilians are dead with that number increasing everyday and you want to disembowel a civilian who is mad at the man responsible for disemboweling his country?
“Millions of innocent civilians are dead with that number increasing everyday and you want to disembowel a civilian who is mad at the man responsible for disemboweling his country?”
You’re a liar — you’re quoting from a discredited Lancet study on civilian casualties. You obviously don’t read any of the news reports on the falling death tolls, nor do you care that the parliament has passed key legislation and is moving towards a stable democracy.
But, to folks like you, this is nothing — you want complete utopia, which is not only naive, but impossible. Saddam’s Iraq was a horrific place, monstrous in so many ways you can’t even list them all. The fact that this guy could throw shoes and live tells you all you need to know about the state of Iraq today.
Get professional help — people like you are obsessed with Bush. For your own sake and those around you, get help.
Hi Bob. What are the names of those supposed “millions of innocent dead”? You can’t produce them, because there is no such thing. Even the 100,000 number of dead civilians number has been thuroughly debunked. Get a new line. Yours grows tiresome. But here’s one little sample of what Bush has brought to Iraq: a complete lack of this crap:
a July 2003 report in the Times of London:
A chief executioner to one of Saddam’s sons has revealed how he helped drag two victims into a cage to be devoured by lions.
The executioner said that he was ordered to seize two 19-year-old students and take them to a farm of Uday Hussein, Saddam’s oldest son who was killed by American forces last week.
As soon as they arrived the students were dragged to a cage containing the lions and forced inside. “I saw the head of the first student literally come off his body with the first bite,” he said. He then had to stand and watch the animals devour the two young men: “By the time they were finished there was little left but for the bones and bits and pieces of unwanted flesh.”
He was told later that the two young men “had competed with Uday where some young ladies were concerned.”

That’s a very touching story Martino but we went into Iraq for their supposed role in 9/11, not to end Gladiatorial games. Is there something wrong with desiring a utopia? Fact is, we are one of the world biggest hurdles in obtaining a better place to live. We force our way of life on other countries, kill their people, force them into debt, exploit their industry, yet call ourselves the leaders of the free world, hardly.
“That’s a very touching story Martino but we went into Iraq for their supposed role in 9/11”
More lies — do you have anything original to contribute? Produce for me, here, the exact quote from President Bush, Vice President Cheney, or any other in the administration who said that Iraq was involved in 9/11. Not some conspiracy site, an actual quote from a news source.
Put up, or STFU!
Saddam violated 17 UN resolutions, paid 25, 000 to Palestinian families of suicide bombers, supported terrorist throughout the region, and harbored terrorists of all stripes, Abu Nidal for one. He butchered his people en masse, and was a constant threat to his neighbors (remember Kuwait?). It’s sad, that someone like you can’t see the merits of removing a monster like Saddam, a genocidal dictator who was a threat to the world.
Richard, you beat me to it. Bob seems to be another looney lefty, with his conspiracy theories, his hatred of America. Next he’ll tell us that Old Europe is the place to be, they “understand” everyone. Where, in the world, is the duplicate to our system of governement, where have we “forced our way of life on other countries”, where do we “force them into debt”?
Go back to DU or Kos, where you got your talking points from.
Bob makes some good points actually. While I don’t know about his accusations of forcing people into debt we certainly have played a role in the overthrowing of other governments. Iran, Ecquador, Panama, Iraq, and we tried to do it with Chavez in Venezuela but failed. I will add that while there are no “duplicate” governments around the world that doesn’t necessarily mean haven’t tried to install a government similar to ours through war.
Jonn wrote: You forgot to mention that we also overthrew the governments of Germany, Italy, Vichy France and Japan. Not to mention Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Bulgaria – geez, ya know there’s just too many to name.
And for those who have argued that Sadaam harbored terrorists, even your beloved Bush admits al qaeda wasn’t there until the US invaded that country, excerpts from his interview.
BUSH: One of the major theaters against al-Qaeda turns out to have been Iraq. This is where al-Qaeda said they were going to take their stand. This is where al-Qaeda was hoping to take–
RADDATZ: But not until after the U.S. invaded.
BUSH: Yeah, that’s right. So what?
So Bob changes his tune because his first one was one giant sour note. Yeah Bob, that was indeed touching.
Iraq violated a cease-fire with the U.S.
The first Gulf War never ended.
When a cease-fire is violated, generally the result is a resumption of hostilities. Just because Clinton didn’t have the sand to enforce it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
No other justification was necessary. Go away.
And are you proud of that Jonn? The fact our entry into WWI was by deliberately sending the Luisitania into dangerous waters? The fact the US funded both sides of WWII (I direct you to US Standard Oil selling a patented fuel to Germany’s Air Force)? The fact the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a farse just to get us involved in Vietnam? Yeah, I’d be pretty proud of that too, sending American lives into danger under false pretenses.
Jonn snickered: The Lusitania, f’Pete’s sake….
Don, take your BDS and get humped. Nobody here “beloves” George W. Bush. But neither are we afflicted with your twisted BDS either.
Al qaeda trained in Salman Pak, and there were qaeda in northern Iraq for some time.
Get humped? How old are you?
Do you always answer a question with a question?
Only when I’m getting “humped.”
LOL
This shoe throwing thing is WAY over done. Look at all the chicks over the years that have thrown panties at Tom Jones and myself* over the years.
Second half of this equation maybe <= 0.
I hear ya TSO. Between you and Tom Jones, I’ll bet 34,000 panties have been thrown your way. Kind of like between me and Warren Buffett, we’re worth $billions.
Don Berman,
America, the country that hates you back…
Don:
He did harbor other terrorists and several key AQ operatives — Saddam was more than willing to ply his terrorist trade.
Remember, you don’t need to be affiliated with AQ to be an anti-West terrorist — you folks on the left seem to think it’s only AQ; nope, it’s Hamas, Hezbollah, Lashkar-e-Taiba etc. They ALL want to wage a war against the West — it legitimizes their raison d’etre.
“The fact our entry into WWI was by deliberately sending the Luisitania into dangerous waters?” Uh, Don, you might want to check the registry of the RMS Lusitania. It was NOT a US registered ship, so the US didn’t send it anywhere.
UpNorth,
Hey, he’s on a role. Folks like him are never in a mind to let facts get in the way of their story. I’m surprised the lefties here haven’t brought up the Illuminati, Masons, Bilderburgers, or the Trilateral Commission.
Grassy Knoll Commentaries. Gotta laugh.
….am I the only one who’s wondering why we’re arguing about World War I?
I mean, I don’t think the shooting of an Archduke justifies a world war either, but does it really /matter/?
That said, the shoe thing…I think it’s being taken too far on each side. It’s funny, but he’s not necessarily a hero. Nor is he the biggest evil in the world. I don’t think he deserves to go to jail for two years just for throwing shoes at a foreign leader. They’re shoes. It’s not assault. There’s no intent to harm. It’s a practical joke.
I’ve never had panties thrown at me, but have been slapped a couple of times. Does that mean the same thing?
AS, throwing a shoe at someone is an assault, hitting them with the shoe makes it a battery. Both are misdemeanors in this country and can get you arrested.
The Shoe Toss game is about as defining of Iraq as Waterboarding is of Gitmo. 2 shoes thrown, 2 snakes waterboarded. And, the Lusitania? WTF? Never heard that tinfoil conspiracy before. Get a grip, libs, yer losing it.
nuf sed
ArmySergeant,
“They’re shoes. It’s not assault. There’s no intent to harm. It’s a practical joke.”
Let me know when you’re back, have a joke I want to share with you…
For Pete’s sake…
Tim, guess he couldn’t reply, probably out making a new tinfoil hat. AS, what YatYas and Raoul said, it is an assault. If that’s your extent of the knowledge of the law, I don’t doubt you have concerns while you’re driving, on post or off.
If someone threw shoes at me, I would think they were weird, but I wouldn’t try to send them to jail. I might get a restraining order.
And I might see how he likes the taste of those shoes. Or get him probated and sedated — permanently.
Excuse me Berman? Zarqawi was most certainly there after he got kicked out of Afghanistan. And what about the bombers of the World Trade Center in 1993 who fled to Iraq?
A/S,
“If someone threw shoes at me, I would think they were weird, but I wouldn’t try to send them to jail. I might get a restraining order.”
Really?
And the little duck says to the Judge, “I’d like a retraining order because that person is weird.”
Judge says, “Case dismissed.”
Can you tell me why?
Jonn,
It’s people like Don Berman that form the core of the Blame America First/Hate America Left.
This country was formed by people who didn’t like where they lived, so they moved….to America.
If Don doesn’t like America, he should do what they did, MOVE.
So Don, STFU and GTFO.
COB 6 seriously? I mean………really?
This has to be the most hate-filled, unnecessary remark I’ve read about the over-hyped incident. Suggesting this man’s wife and children should be dragged out into the street, raped and murdered is like applauding the dropping of a 500 lb. “smart bomb” into a neighborhood of civilians.
Maybe you were exaggerating to make a point, but sheesh…that’s a bit excessive.
