I have heard many wish that they could get close enough to Bush to give him a piece of their mind, but most end the thought with "if only it weren't for rendition and torture." This man has obviously known both already and STILL stood up to the bully. <BR/>One thing you can say that Bush does know how to do well and that is DUCK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-85934949250333786602008-12-15T05:52:00.000-08:002008-12-15T05:52:00.000-08:00Even the Iraqi media is spinning this baby:"Al-Bag...Even the Iraqi media is spinning this baby:<BR/><BR/>"Al-Baghdadiya Al-Baghdadiya television later released a statement, demanding the immediate release of reporter Muntadar al-Zeidi, who was detained following the incident.

This from Layla ...Muntather Al-Zaidi may need help. This from <A HREF="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21464.htm" REL="nofollow">Layla AnwarM</A>:<BR/><BR/><EM>Let me tell you more about Muntather Al-Zaidi. Muntather was kidnapped, tortured and humiliated and when released he resumed his work as a journalist at the Baghdadia TV. He graduated from Baghdad University in Journalism and was active pre-2003 in the Iraqi Federation /Student Union and was/is known to be a vehement opposer to the dual occupation of my Beloved.<BR/><BR/>One of his colleagues confirmed that Muntather came to the press conference late, and his other colleagues from the same TV station had preceded him way before. This other colleague also confirmed that they had to stand for hours for stringent security checks before being allowed to enter the press hall.<BR/><BR/>Muntather as a dignified Iraqi, used the only weapon available to him - HIS SHOES.<BR/><BR/>He threw the first one with such dexterity, Bush ducked and within seconds he threw the second one and aimed right above that bastard's head and landed smash into the American flag. I think that Muntather was hoping to aim the other shoe at Maliki, the puppet.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say about 5 men or more, dressed in civil clothes and some of them were American dogs, threw themselves on this HERO Muntather. Amidst the stupor and shouts, I could hear his screams while he was being kicked, his hair pulled, and his face scratched...<BR/><BR/>We all watched it and Mom and I burst into tears, tears of happiness and tears of grief.<BR/><BR/>Happiness because Muntather filled us with hope, hope that there are still brave heroes left in Iraq. Mom even called him the Salah El-Deen Al Ayubi /the new Saladin.<BR/><BR/>A historical moment in the Iraqi tragedy indeed and during Bush's last visit !<BR/>A historical moment that will be recorded as the ultimate humiliation to any American president and to the "American Empire" hahahahahahaha.<BR/><BR/>We were also filled with grief and recited the Fateeha, because we knew that Muntather Al-Zaidi signed his own death warrant. This guy is finished.<BR/><BR/>Mom added that he will be tortured first, most probably with shoes before his execution.<BR/><BR/>Muntather Al-Zaidi was aware that the consequences of such an act will bring the wrath of the sectarian Shiites and zionists Kurdish puppets and that of the Americans on his head. But he risked it anyway...like a TRUE IRAQI HERO giving his occupier the ultimate humiliation next to the military defeat of America - because America has been DEFEATED in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Yes, you dirty motherfuckers, NO VICTORY for you in IRAQ. No victory as long as people like Muntather exist...<BR/><BR/>I therefore urge all people of conscience, in particular Journalists without Borders, any syndicate or union of journalists anywhere in the world, to mobilize themselves for the release of Muntather before he gets executed.</EM>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-66805361179256911412008-12-14T18:48:00.000-08:002008-12-14T18:48:00.000-08:00It was a shoe, for chistsake, anybody else would h...It was a shoe, for chistsake, anybody else would have caught it, spit on it and thrown it on the floor.
