My father often said that American blood was too precious to shed on foreign soil. Too bad that in this case it was sacrificed to an ungrateful, hate filled idiot. If Saddam Hussein was still alive and this man had thrown his shoes at him you known darn well what would’ve happened to him. He would’ve been shoved shoeless first into a wood chipper.

Barbie! Dont sweat it, you arent alone in your opinion. There are Iraqis who actually really are grateful for a chance to live again, but there are the usual muslim asshats who cant seem to live without unrepentant hatred. So dont go anywhere, you speak for a lot of us.

p.s. and for the Iraqis, Iranians and other middle easterners who live in this country and hate it and hate us- GET OUT GO HOME GET OUT OF HERE. TAKE YOUR UNCIVILIZED HATE WITH YOU WE DON’T NEED IT (and take the entertainers and ‘journalists’ with you)

F ‘em. let’s get out of that country – let it fall into civil war because that’s what these brutal, uncivilized ‘people’ like… Sorry to offend S&L readers – that’s how I feel.

I have to agree with Average American and add my own comments: This Irqai journalist represents the scum who live and exist in a brutal, uncivilized 7th century culture. They are happy to torture and kill for no reason and to try to introduce some modicum of freedom, democracy, and civilization to these Iraqi pigs has been, I hate to say it, a mistake. Iraqi culture consists of uncivilized, ungrateful pigs. Why did we waste our money and men and women to try to shed light on a violent hate-filled backwards country?? I know I will be yelled at for this but that’s how I feel. These people love to hate. Our President Bush, for his faults, has been heroic and brave and steadfast in trying to free a country from enslaved brutality – and this jerk off journalist represents the mindset that still exists. Block me from S&L, I feel our brave men and women have died so morons like this journalist can live…

I wonder what kind of screening they do of the people admitted to these press conferences? Do they screen for weapons? After all, there could have been some sort of IED in this guys shoes and then we would have had a real problem.

These kind of cultural “throw backs” make you realize these people almost require a dictator to control them.

Their mindset is so antiquated from years of oppressive government, media and religious control that any real observation of democracy will be generations away.

The question is “do we have the fortitude to keep working with Iraq in order to bring them up to a civilized level of world acceptance?”

Not likely, especially under the incoming “cut-n-run” U.S. Administration.

So, look for another dictator to rise to power within the next 10 years or so.

It’s funny to watch the democrats play social engineer with the U.S. (Fair Housing Act), but get cold feet in parts of the world that actually need their meddling.

“The U.S. led invasion in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein triggered years of sectarian bloodshed and insurgency in Iraq, killing tens of thousands”.

Yeah; like Hussein was a peacful, co-existing fun-loving kind of guy. There were no killing fields. Why, Iraq was a vacation resort before the Americans showed up.

I don’t agree with W’s latest bipartisanship, but the man has done a hell of a job keeping terrorist busy and off of our soil. He entered the presidency after a traitor did everything to make his transition a failure. A few months later, the worst attack on U.S. soil that might have been averted if the Clinton administration had done their home work. Bush did not blame the previous administration or whine. Now at the end of his term, he continues to act respectful and humble still as the press does everything it can to minimize and belittle him, and has shoes thrown at him in a S#!t-hole 3rd world country that he has helped. Still, the man is humble. The next president has already demonstrated that he has no respect for country, civility or honor. Why would other countries respect us with a Chicago thug in the Whitehouse. God bless George Bush……..God help the American people.

SG: Bierbart reported the reporter was Egyptian. What ever, Bush in typical Texan ease, managed to get out a description of the weapons. He said they were a size 10.

Oh, and sheehanjihad. If it were Saddam the reporter did that too, he would be dog food…literally…dog food.

Dubya looked pretty good dodging those shoes. I was waiting for him to break out with some kung fu praying mantis moves but he was cool and calm. lol.

if that was Saddam, he would be finding his ankles wrapped in rope and having the soles of his feet beaten with a piece of re bar. Good thing it’s only the President of the United States who gave this ungrateful chunk of ocelot vomit the freedom to act like the dick with ears he is.

How much you wanna bet that they got this “REPORTER” up by the thumbs with wire on his nads doing the “Electric Boogey”?
What? No pictures? They sure are slow with this democracy thing. (wonder if he wants his shoe back)
