Shoe-Hurling Iraqi Becomes a Folk Hero
By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS and

The Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at President Bush has stirred up a storm of emotions across Iraq and the Arab world.

BAGHDAD — An Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at President Bush and called him a dog became a huge celebrity in the Arab world and beyond on Monday, with many supporters exalting him for what they called a courageous act in the face of American arrogance about the war.

You would think it might be a reality check for him but he laughed it off. Ha Ha.

Reality made a dramatic cameo appearance when President Bush's legacy tour touched down in Baghdad yesterday and a shoe-hurling Iraqi journalist refused to go along with the charade that the invasion of his country was something to celebrate.

Bush, as part of his series of carefully choreographed farewell statements, has been making every effort to suggest that victory is around the corner in the two unfinished wars he leaves behind him (one undertaken under false pretenses, both vastly more protracted and costly than expected). The implicit message is that if anything goes wrong from this point forward, it will be Barack Obama's fault.

Yes yes
"The implicit message is that if anything goes wrong from this point forward, it will be Barack Obama's fault. "

Obama has already lost the war and screwed up our ecconomy.
Everything was so peachy till he got in the White House.

Amazing.

Barack should be considering that second shoe. How did the guy have time to throw it?

I read some lame sounding excuses from the secrete service about how they had the guy flagged and how they wanted to have an agent standing next ot him but they were overuled. Over ruled by who?
Conspiracy Theory #14
But seriously it does seem to be a lapse in security. Somebody needs to look into that. I read somewhere that Obama intends to visit a Muslim country in his first 100 days.

I have never seen the movie JFK, I am plenty paranoid without hollywood.
