The picture of Obama next to Iraqi Prime Minister, reminds me of George Bush standing next to Al-Maliki — waiting for the shoe missile launch by the HERO Iraqi journalist (Time – Person of The Year). The positioning of the two leaders is eerily similar to the Bush-Maliki “missile staging” last year. LOL!
Just recently, Bush crawled out of his hiding hole and went to Canada, where he was greeted with protests, effigies and a stockpile of shoes. He will meet more shoes in the future whenever he travels abroad.
Bush Finds WMDs in Iraq, Umm, or WMHs (Weapons of Mass Humiliation)
The Nation — President Bush finally found the long-missing Weapons of Mass Humiliation in Iraq. Iraqis, millions of them, are wearing them on their feet. Not exactly WMDs, but WMHs will have to do.
Unfortunately, Bush discovered the WMHs when a pair of them sailed past his head at a press conference in Baghdad. The hurler, Muntader al-Zaidi, is already a hero in Iraq, and beyond.
I hope I don’t get in trouble with the Secret Service by saying that I, too, found satisfaction in the display of anger toward Bush, whose reckless war costs hundreds of thousands of lives and destroyed an entire nation. What Zaidi did was to put an exclamation point on Bush’s war, fittingly — and, given the fact that the smoothly bipartisan, rancorless Barack Obama isn’t likely to investigate the crimes of the Bush adminstration in Iraq, it might be all we get before Bush rides off into the Texas sunset. …[READ MORE]
I have written over a hundred essays expressing my disgust and anger at Bush’s illegal and unethical invasion of Iraq that has resulted in the meaningless death of thousands of American soldiers, and over a hundred thousand Iraqi civilians. I have debated many friends and family members, defending my position that Bush needs to be impeached for launching his preemptive war on a country that posed no threat to us. I have exchanged many letters with my readers over this controversial subject.
But an Iraqi patriot perfectly captured the anger and contempt that millions of Iraqis and Americans feel for George W. Bush, by hurling his shoes at the disgraced American president on his farewell visit to Iraq. Throwing your shoes at a person is the supreme insult in the Arab world, and Bush was a worthy recipient of this affront.
Those shoes flying over the head of the hapless Bush are a more fitting and eloquent commentary on Bush’s disastrous Iraq war than all of my editorials. This Iraqi journalist risked imprisonment and vengeance from the Iraqi puppet government, his courageous action deserves the respect and admiration of peace-loving people throughout the world.
The clip of the reporter throwing his shoes at Bush is a big hit on YouTube, and Arab and Iranian TV stations have replayed the footage hundreds of times.
The Real WMD’s Unearthed — SHOES!
The hero’s war cry “This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog.” has quickly become a catchphrase in the Arab world.
Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist, is my recommendation for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.” This patriot seized his golden opportunity to send the message to Bush and the entire world that the Iraq war has been a disaster for the Iraqi people.
Such a heroic act should not go unrewarded: Muntazer al-Zaidi (Time Magzine:Person of the Year)
Columnist – John Sammon George W. Bush obviously didn’t follow the example of Prince Charles of England, who after he lost favor by treating Lady Diana like a whore, won back public favor when he stood unflinchingly before an angry protester who tried to charge the stage on which he stood.
Bush showed what he’s made of.
Duck Bush, duck!
This is the closest to combat George ever came, the smirking, gloating, parading, former National Guard boy who skipped meetings of the National Guard.
While Bush’s puppet Iraqi ruler stood rock-like, Bush cowered. Run for cover Bush! Hide under the lectern! Crawl on the floor!
That shoe leather is real dangerous.
A disgruntled Arab reporter, evidently upset that Bush killed a million Iraqis and destroyed Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that weren’t there, hurled two shoes at Bush. From now on I christen you ‘George, Two Shoes Bush.‘
You see George, it’s like this. I know you went to Iraq to sell the war and how great it still is, like you’d sell soap. But you threw away a golden chance. You had the opportunity to increase your 28 percent approval rating.
You threw it away. Over shoes.
All you had to do is stand bravely before the shoes like your Iraq puppet ruler did. Better yet, catch the thrown shoe and hurl it back at the bastard like you were a shortstop on the L.A. Dodgers.
But no, you had to duck and cover.
Duck Bush duck! Incoming! Shoes!
Stand up. Face it like a man! What are you afraid of? A sneaker imprint on your pretty face. This does damage to the spin you put out about yourself as the fearless top gun pilot.
If you can’t face a thrown shoe, I would not have you walking point on a patrol in Baghdad. You’re the Commander in Chief. What do you order yourself? Commander in Chief to the rear!
Or better yet. Duck and hide! You could whisper up at the Iraq leader. Has he gone? Has the guy with the shoe left?
What are you, afraid of some possible blood? Scratch? You send hundreds of solders aged 18 out to die all the time. What’s the matter with you?
I suggest you take my CD course ‘How to React Under Stressful Situations,‘ and its companion offerings, ‘Courage Made Easy for Dummies,‘ and ‘You Too Can Appear Brave, Even if You’re Not.‘
The entire CD package is only $69.95 while supplies last. That would be better than ordering my soon-to-be-released Coward’s Kit complete with yellow stripe to pin on your back.
Duck Bush! Run! Hide!
No, this is not the way to show the power and majesty of the United States. Maybe you should have come to the ‘Sell the Iraq War as Great‘ spin press conference dressed in a flak jacket and helmet. Better yet, they could knock out a wall and you could enter the room in a tank, and speak to the group through a tiny slit in the tank (just your eyes visible).
George! George. Your first taste of battle, and you duck, leaving your Iraqi counterpart to take the heat. George! George!.
