His crew ain't done, apparently....I think we can say with some degree of certainty that the shoe tosser is a Sunni. He might even be from Tikrit.

But trying to insist that he is delivering a message from 'the Iraqi people?' Maybe the ones who are Sunni and benefited from the Ba'ath regime, but a huge population of Shi'a are delighted that Saddam is gone, and a lot of Kurds aren't arguing either.

Iraq is a frigging mess, but it's more transparent now. The brutality used to be hidden.

I thought it was clear enough to leave off the thingie.

You're the one who suggested "improvement." I certainly didn't.

Just because things are more apparent doesn't make them necessarily better.

Starting an illegal and immoral war has consequences, even if it is just a shoe thrown at you.

Hi,
I wonder what happened to the guy. I'm surprised the idiot son could move quick enough to duck out of the way. An illegal and morally unjustified war while millions and millions are made by the criminal ruling class from it.

Peace

Too bad he wasn't three legged, he might made the third one a charm.

This one still works, there were others ... they were all fun!

player clicked to throw the shoe.

I think some people complained about it, so it went away pretty quickly, because when you hit GW with the shoe that you just threw there was the BIG red SPLATTER complete with a squashing sound.

I actually agree with that critique, but then I personally remember JFK & Bobby Kennedy.

It felt VERY good to hit GW with the shoe, when you managed to do so, but there should probably be some result other than "blood".

have his say it sounded like he was telling the guy to his right that this has happened to him before. I like the part where he got to say FU a couple times.

I don't think it matters much if he was Sunni or Shi'a, Bush F'd Up his country and killed a bunch of his family, I'd throw shoes at that slimebag myself. Bremmer is the equivalent of an economic hit man and the conditions he was sent to Iraq to foist upon all the people of that country is so unbelievably criminal that that POS ought to be sitting in a cell in The Hague right now. Check out The Shock Doctrine, it exposes him as well as many of the other criminals of his ilk.

I'm glad to see that Bremmer gets called out on the whole thing.

Was it a Converse made in China.

They make lots of "slip on" shoes, and sandals, sold cheaply in the bazaars....

I was a preteenager when he was "doing his thing". During the period we wasted a lot of public money on Cold War weapons and wasted a lot of good will in places like Vietnam and Nicaragua.

a lot of the neocons call themselves "Scoop Jackson Democrats", they were actually Democrats and converted at some point, maybe around the time of the Reagan revolution. It's a good bet that the "Henry Jackson Society" is basically a neocon think tank.

I had high school teachers who were selling the same "message".

surely their great glorious war will be commemorated in a big way, maybe on Iraq Statue Day?

Someone has apparently found Paul Bremer, now we need to find where the others are hiding: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, the "cakewalk" guy, I forgot his name, that other guy that's the "dumbest fucking guy on the planet", etc.

Has he ever explained where all the money went?
