Bush Attacked

[Alejandro Rhodes]

I saw it on the news too

I like the way Bush avoid the two shoes,the old man still has fast reflex ,If if was me both shoes would hit me  ;D

[expat]

We thought of tying some shoes to our vehicles with the soles facing outwards, but the chain of command didn't think it was very funny....

To bad our time in service never crossed..................we could have got in all sorts of trouble

As a world leader, he should have realised this and saying a while later, "So what if a guy threw his shoe at me?" shows little understanding of the whole incident and feelings of some people in Iraq.

That was 100% intended.. he's been to Saudi Arabia enough to know about the 'shoe insult' stuff

I was amazed someone did that.
Do these people even think before they do there actions? Its crazy. I mean I imagine he will be in lots and lots of trouble for throwing a shoe from his anger. and his mission wasn't successful so now he's probley even madder

It was a well planned stunt and the guy will be free in a few days unless maliki wants to catch another pair himself

Bush is well-versed at being shooed; the Iraqis need to know the old regime is gone and understand the new one will be what they make of it.

Word is that he was the sole attacker. Heel be behind bars for some time I reckon.

I'll get my coat. Thank heavens it was only shoes. Gawd knows what would have occured had any injury have been inflicted on GWB.

Someone said he's in prison for life?
Although I wasnt sure if the Iraqis made that huge of a deal about it.
I know the United States would like those people who had the plan with Obama during the Election months and im sure there in life just for that.

That would hardly be democratic now would it?

You must be very dumb to throw a pair of shoes. Everyone knows bricks have more impact....

Crash

I could use a new pair of shoes. Anyone catch what size they were?  ::)

Someone is spreading bull flop. The crime he was charged with carries a maximum sentence of two years.

Yeah I thought it wouldent be life but that's only 2 years? Hm.. I would think maybe 4 or something what would he be charged for? Assault? :-?

Isn't this thread getting a bit to political?

Maybe so, but nobody's fighting over political views and opinions....

Maybe we could have a shoe fight this year instead of the traditional snowball fight?

Anyway, to GW, the shoe thing isn't much of an insult, so the meaning of the attack was a bit pointless, the attacker would've got a better reaction if he'd just stood up & done a few 'yo mamma' jokes.

He was charged with Disgracing a Diplomat, or something like that.
