A surprise visit by US President George Bush to Iraq has been overshadowed by an incident in which two shoes were thrown at him during a news conference.

Its so ironic that the head of the country trying to bring democracy to iraq gets abused by a person exercising his rights under that democracy, if that had been Saddam having the shoes thrown at him, that journalist would have surely been tortured then executed.
They're a ******* hypocritical bunch them sand-kickers
democracy?
IF...
whereas everyday, that democracy is taking hundreds of civilians' lives, soldiers and more.
And I still don't get it why that democracy is not being fought for in Cuba...which is nearer to the US.. or maybe Zimbabwe, N.Korea etc...why is it taking so long to get in these countries and free its people. Or is there nothing to gain to fight for the democracy there?
hope you get my point too
Iraq war my biggest regret, Bush admits
To be fair Cuba is a little different to Iraq. Actually has a very good health service whereas in Iraq Saddam spent all his pocket money on a large army so he could invade his neighbours.
1st of all it wasnt his money, it was the countries, 2nd I dont think it implies this at all & 3rd whose killing all these people exactly???
yeah a bit like the lies that the US and its allies used to start the war in Iraq...it took the same direction as your 'thread direction'...or maybe not, according to you.
Simple fact is most of them are savages or intellectual *******.
Yet again, you are mentioning something that I have not commented on, I have not discussed the validity of the reasons for going to war.
At the end of the day, you drive a car and moan about fuel prices, if you feel that strongly about the poor people of iraq then buy a car that runs on air. Because even if you bought an electric car it would be powered by a power station powered by oil.
It makes me sick that people all moan about the poor iraqis and then greedily buy up the product that is the "reason" for us being there.
Its total ********, we are not invading UAE are we, they have plenty of oil.
If the iraqis had any sense they would sell us the oil willingly and use the proceeds to enrich their county. Simple fact is most of them are savages or intellectual *******.
So what happened to them then, they all decided to move into shithole houses and become idiots all of a sudden?
They let religion rule their lives over common sense.
Their parliament is a sham because the sunnis, shiites and the kurds can't agree on the time of day let alone anything political.
They all need to grow up a bit.
If I was the Prez of the US and some terrorists hijacked some planes and threw them into office buildings in my country I would nuke the crap out of theirs let alone invade it.
All about the oil? ********, revenge pure and simple.
And Russia, France and Germany also supplied arms to the Iraqis, it just so happens that the US got paid for theirs and the other countries didn't, hence their reluctance to join in the war.
Britain supplied some of the ordanance. The Iraqis were not always an enemy, once they got the arms they needed they turned against the west in their quest for world domination.
Just to mention that Iraq didn't fly any planes into any buildings, it was a small terrorist group based in the Peshawar region on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, they were funded and trained by the US and ISI during the Afghan war with Russia to fight a gorilla war against the large Russian force in the country 1978-1989.

15 out of 19 hijackers were Saudi, 1 UAE, 1 Egyptian, 1 Lebanese (can't remember the last)
I must have missed the part where Iraq was on a quest for world domination. Invading Kuwait was wrong (even though he considered himself the king of Mesopotamia which would incorporate kuwait) but I wouldnt consider Kuwait similar to a quest for world domination
Had to pick upon this as its pretty funny,
A Spanish Guerrillero
Guerrilla means small war, the diminutive of the Spanish word Guerra (war). The Spanish word derives from the Old High German word Werra and from the middle Dutch word warre.
Guerrillero is the Spanish word for guerrilla fighter, while in Spanish-speaking countries the noun guerrilla usually denotes guerrilla army (e.g. la guerrilla de las FARC translates as "the FARC guerrilla group"). Moreover, per the OED, 'the guerrilla' was an English usage (as early as 1809), describing the fighters, not only their tactics (e.g."the town was taken by the guerrillas"), however, in most languages guerrilla still denotes the specific style of warfare.
A Gorilla.
i think if you do your research 911 was an inside job, it all leads back to Israel,
All the muslims hate the jews in Isreal, the jews have done nothing but cause the most amount of pain all around the world, out in the open and behind the scenes, so the muslims have not made the jews to welcome in the middle east, so how does the jews get the muslims off there back and put the spot light on them? get them the blame for an event and get the world to hate them and kill them for them, the jews are very good at getting others to do there dirty work, BUT now the world has woken up to there divide and conqure game that they have played out for thousands of years, Iv learnt so much by doing my own reaserch on the "NEW WORLD ORDER" you too can use google youtube and amany more sites to see what them 3 worlds mean, all i will say is follow the white rabbit all the way down the hole,
Back to the topic of this tread,
tossing your shoes at someone is classed as one of the most disrespectful things that a man can have done to him in the middle east, its worse than another man sleeping with your wife in a open public park in front of everyone!
