I think quite a number of Iraqis were embarassed by how their guest got treated today. Personally, I got angry. Very angry.
I will make a public promise:
should I ever run into a certain reporter called Muntather al-Zaidi, presently of Al-Baghdadia TV,
I will seriously consider beating the crap out of him.
If I am successful in bringing him down, then my coup de grace shall be to take one of his shoes, preferably the one on the right, and stuff it in his mouth. I know that will be illegal.
I am willing to face all the legal consequences, and the tribal ones too. But as I said, I will give it serious consideration.
And should it come to light that someone had put him up to it, paid him or cajoled him into doing it, then they too will get the same treatment. I'm not cut out to be a thug, but I will try anyway.
See, I will forever remain indebted to President George W. Bush.
He is my hero. He liberated Iraq, and that's how I will always see it.
Had there been no President Bush, then Saddam would still be Saddam.
The usual suspects are ecstatic over what happened, especially the US-based media and Iraq-watchers.
I would like to beat them all up too, but I think that would be a tad bit excessive. The best revenge is to make them watch Iraq's democracy strengthen and prosper.
Today's images gave them a temporary high; a new Iraq, free and democratic, something they believed would never happen, will gnaw at their insides for the rest of their lives.
I'll settle for that.
Give it twenty years or so, but a main thoroughfare in Baghdad will be called George Bush Avenue. Or maybe that's just the name of my driveway. Anyway, there will be a big sign and all.
In the meantime, the progeny and immediate family of Muntather al-Zaidi will have a new tribal classification: the Albu Ni'alaan (ألبو نعلان), of the Bani Qanadir (بنو قنادر).

Very good question. The motto “Bite the hands that feeds you” applies here.
I read a couple of threads on DU, and for the most part, the responses to the incident are what you’d expect. However, several posters, were appalled that the security wasn’t better. That, also, was the first thing my husband noted. Why was the guy not surrounded by Secret Service after the first shoe was thrown, he was allowed to get off a second throw. It just seems the security was really lax, and this was also noted, in disgust, by some dems on the liberal boards.
What an ugly idiot! Look at that mouth! Crazy!
I was thinking in terms of his other orifice. My only hope is that he was lead out of the room for a beat down he won't soon forget.
The assailant and the attack were PRAISED on NBC last night,
with the reporters noting he was a “REPORTER” and therefore
it was OK, and laudable.
REPORTER”= POS
It transalte to: “ God damn the sons of pigs”.
It translates to: “ God damn the sons of pigs”.
THANK YOU for posting the commentary and video — AWESOME!
Oh .. ok ... thank you .. ;)
Yes, he was probably put up to it by one our MSM traitors.
Also, take a look at how President Bush waves off the SS coming at him from the side (to protect him) ...all while staring straight ahead. Never breaking his focus!
It's not what happens to you, IT'S HOW YOU REACT TO IT...
God Bless President Bush - WE ARE SO PROUD YOU ARE OUR PRESIDENT!
for the record... that is a photoshop of Shakeel Baht's head on the perp that threw the shoe. Shakeel Baht, as you can tell, is a very angry person. (He has issues.)
can we see this in a AP article?
Thank you for translating that for us. I appreciate all the translating work you have done for FR & the USA over the past several years. Even this tiny bit.
WRM, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)
Can’t you just see Obama hauling ass backstage and screaming “racists!”
Most of them get it, actually. The media just doesn't want to portray that.
I think the shoe-thrower was Sadrist scum.
Your aunt isn’t the only one who suffers from BDS. There are thousands, if not millions
