this is a good one...you get to play...sock and awe...shock and awe...hahahaha

 

That was great, I'd sig it if I believed that bush was that simple.
Bush is most likely a scapegoat IMO, blaming him is kind of silly if you think about it, but it's symbolic in their case if you think about it.

On a side note, were those guys kicking him?

 

The shoes would go for quite a bit on eBay I'd bet.

They would make a great museum item as well.

Also, more on the shoe-chucker's faith:

I'm sure they'll make some kind of shrine out of them.

 

watched it again..I love the smirk on bush's face..like he saying "lulz you noob..that all you got?"

 

lol go bush

 

Whether you like him or not he is your (mine as well) President. A shoe thrown @ him is a slap in the face of America and should not warrant such a response. No other country gives as much in aid of any kind, even to countries who hate America and I challenge you prove me wrong. That being said he is the leader of said nation and you should take what happened to him personally.

I did.

They shouldn't have arrested him. The man deserves a medal. I wish the shoe would have knocked his head off his shoulders.

 

I guess your definition of aid is destruction, death, creating poverty, killing civilans allf or the gains of profit.

According to dictionary.com the defintion means
aid   /eɪd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [eyd] Show IPA Pronunciation

–verb (used with object) 1. to provide support for or relief to; help: to aid the homeless victims of the fire.

Its not a slap in the face of America its a slapp in the face for Bush. I'm not a some stupid red white blue flag or any of that other bs you have been brainwash to believe. He isn't mine leader never has been and never will be.

 

my only comment is that you can also look at from the other side:
if an occupying force was in control of the US and their leader was speaking on your front yard I would be willing to bet that your patriotism would lead you to taking a shot a the guy as well, regardless of what punishment may come to you. regardless of politics or what bush may or may not have done for the Iraq people; no one likes foreigners on their home turf when a majority of the locals see them as an occupying force. in other words, you would do the exact same thing if you were in the reporter's shoes.

 

I love how Bush is a Christian Nationalist and still gets Christian supporters somehow.

Sorry guys I have to agree with Nishua. If someone in my apartment building murdered someone I don't see that as justification of removing one of MY legs, or maybe torturing me for a couple weeks, even if I get $50 after.

 

i know i said one comment...but like Rollins i'm a liar baby:
one of this county's strengths is the right for the common man to argue with their leaders, sometimes in print, verbally or even shoes. we went into Iraq partially under the auspice of replicating our democratic system there. if the people of Iraq now have the freedoms to disagree with their leaders or speak openly against foreign policy without having their families tortured and killed, ins't that a small victory for us in a man openly tossing his shoe in opposition to a political path of his country is in. similar things have been tossed at US presidents in the past by americans...just go back a hundred years or farther. following the president as some kind of holy cow is exactly what the founders didn't want of this country. if this where we are then Jefferson is giving Adams a huge "see I told you this would happen".

 

I'm sure if that man's concerns and feelings could have been properly, civilly and honestly said and reciprocated he would have used words; but I think regardless of pussyfooting... shoes did a pretty good job at getting his point across, and hey, his point even got news coverage.

Political martyrism.

 

Let me remind you tree huggin lefties ... that it is because of the USA that a man could even come close to pulling that off ... Sadams regime that same "journalist" would not even have close to the courage throw shoe at Sadam ...

Or he would be sucking down nerve-gas just like when Sadam gassed his own people (Kurds).

@ Nishua

No dickhead america hater .. I mean money, food, clothes, vacination, education ... you name it .... NO OTHER FUCKING COUNTRY COMES CLOSE ... get over it

 

Which never never never never never never would have happend if Sadam was running the country ....

He would be sucking sand just the rest of them over living in fear of torture, dismemberment, nerve gassing, starvation, and any other tool used by fear mongers and dictators ..

Personally I would take my chance as a citizen( of Iraq) against a errantly guided weapon vs Sadam, his crazy sons, and everything else listed above

 

I don't claim to have the answer to your false dilemma, but I think that it was an awesome and maintained tragedy that is happening there, and that it is not right to put innocent lives through that, if you want to justify it through whatever means until you sleep well at night be my guest (I'm not questioning that); I'm just saying it's wrong to do such things to such people.

Justification is a tricky thing, moral debates like this really have no terminus, but that being said you can take either side and still be right to yourself. What's wrong is using that to justify acts that are wrong to commit.

It is not justified, when at war all participating sides have already lost, war is loss.
