Saddam and the Shoe Thrower

Did Saddam's daughter, who looted millions from Iraq, secretly fund both the shoe thrower and the bungled coup attempt?

New revelations in Iraq point to a possible link between the shoe thrower and the Iraqi Baathists who just made a botched attempt to topple the government of Nouri al-Maliki and return Saddam’s party to power.

Reports in the Arab media indicate that the Iraqi shoe thrower, Muntather al-Zaidi may have been planning his assault on President Bush for more than a year, helped by Iraqi Baathists seeking to overthrow the U.S,-backed government. One leading Arab website said the al-Zaidi’s handlers may have been funded by Raghad, the eldest daughter of former dictator Saddam Hussein.

And anti-American liberals and the anti-American MSM were giddy with delight with the shoe thrower. You can count on them to be ardent supporters of evil.

How could he plan an assault on W for more than a year when FOX announced, W landed in Iraq, what a surprise to the entire world except Mr. Loafer. Mr. Shoe Thower had information nobody else did if he planned this for a year. How did he know a year ago that Bush would appear in this place at this time and there was a small chance he’d even been admitted as a legitimate reporter. More mush brained reporting.

How many kids did Sadam have exactly? I’ve heard about the Bestial Boys but not this girl.

If he was positioned to be included in any pool of Middle Eastern reporters covering visiting Heads-of-State...he could have planned it a year ago, knowing he’d have the opportunity.

It was wrong to name her raghead.

It isn’t a rag. It is a sheet.

Tina Brown is not a conservative but she’s a good editor who brings to the Web this lively news-commentary site.

(But she never should have left News of the World.)
