- suprxtragrav, on 01/30/2009, -0/+85you gotta hand it to dubya, dodging that shoe was quite a feet.
- unknownpoltroon, on 01/30/2009, -5/+63Can we throw Bush at it?
- tm13lke, on 01/30/2009, -1/+46You better watch your tongue.
- patpl22391, on 01/30/2009, -10/+47It's a grand day when Iraqi's exercise their freedom of speech/expression. I could hardly imagine what would happen if they had done something similar in "honor" of Saddam Hussein while he was Dictator?
- Ravenlark, on 01/30/2009, -0/+37Try dodging that one!
- Chubbly, on 01/30/2009, -1/+33I think they just have to look around at their 600,000 dead and are instantly reminded.
- robbob, on 01/30/2009, -2/+30now lets GTFO
- foth, on 01/30/2009, -1/+29I bet GW got a kick out of this one
- Whiteknight117, on 01/30/2009, -10/+32I love how they rally around this and think its so amazing that he disrespected Bush, here in America we've all forgotten about it.
- palehorse864, on 01/30/2009, -3/+23Clear political bias. This statue had nothing to do with Bush.
This is actually a monopoly monument. The Iraqis love monopoly. - Dennisisok, on 01/30/2009, -2/+20I'm pretty sure he said Keith, not Bill.
Turn your reading on. - ZombieSociety, on 01/30/2009, -0/+18As funny as it is, the guy who threw the shoes was a real heel.
- mbonzo531, on 01/30/2009, -1/+19If they really want to take him out they should have just laced his food.
- KarlH, on 01/30/2009, -0/+17Why, yes. As you can see, a bush has already landed there.
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -8/+25would have been funnier if he had thrown a rebok pump™
- WhiteHatTrick, on 01/30/2009, -3/+19Didn't they break a couple of the guys bones though? Don't think that counts as freedom.
- black27696, on 01/30/2009, -1/+16the guy right above you
- esumti, on 01/30/2009, -2/+16Aah! Finally a weapon of mass destruction.
- abbyandersen, on 01/30/2009, -2/+16A photo of real happiness and laughter on Iraqi faces is a rare thing.
- getlogicated, on 01/30/2009, -0/+14If they have the resources to construct this they can run their country on their own. Time to leave haha
- maloconn, on 01/30/2009, -3/+16The joy on their faces is priceless.
- SilverBack101, on 01/30/2009, -1/+14What? English ***** do you speak it?!
- OnBetamax, on 01/30/2009, -3/+15i was definitely expecting an onion article at first.
- klij, on 01/30/2009, -4/+16i remember the first day of iraq war. i turned on the tv, to a scene of troops in a desert. then the newscaster said iraq, and i thought did i hear that right, and he said it again. and i was like iraq! what the ***** happened to Afghanistan.
- lordmike, on 01/30/2009, -5/+17The man who tossed the shoe at Bush WAS tortured by the state...
- Maksx, on 01/30/2009, -6/+18you have to admit, they sure have a sense of humour
- Louis11, on 01/30/2009, -0/+12Try throwing it
- bugsy187, on 01/30/2009, -2/+14Nah, that could only happen if Obama took advantage of people's fears after a terrorist attack. Say, for example, he invaded a series of nations unable to defend themselves to set an example for the rest of the world. That's silly, though. That's a neoconservative strategy openly drafted by people like Cheney and Wolfowitz. Strategies defined as the supreme international crime of aggression after WWII. You know, how some silly German dictator invaded countries like Poland and Austria because they were a "threat". Lucky for us Cheney and Wolfowitz aren't advising Obama. Or are they....

Roses are red,
I threw a nike,
but it missed his his head. - yerdaddy, on 01/30/2009, -0/+11There may be a position for you with The Onion but you may have to volunteer.
- foth, on 01/30/2009, -1/+11IN THE NAME OF SHOE!!!!!!!!!
- biotch, on 01/30/2009, -1/+11I dont think he was so much a journalist as much as he was an enraged Iraqi.... that day.
His antics werent meant to speak for journalists ... they represented the sentiments of Iraqis. - edjenkins234, on 01/30/2009, -0/+9name a country where they don't have the freedom to talk badly about another countries leader.
i bet you could walk around north korea or burma yelling death to bush all you want. - pepspaa, on 01/30/2009, -0/+8"I hope Bush saw this, that pig".
There you go Mr. Grammar Nazi. - daeken, on 01/30/2009, -2/+10I agree entirely. Although I tend to think this whole thing is inane, it brought a smile to my face that the Iraqi people have the freedom to do this.
- PixelPusher74, on 01/30/2009, -2/+10Bush will remain safe as long as nobody creates an intercontinental ballistic loafer...
- farTart, on 01/30/2009, -3/+11Can I just be the first to say "*****' Ay" - one journalist, one action, huge amount of respect.
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -9/+17GWB the worst president of the new millennium!
- torressr3, on 01/30/2009, -0/+8just don't make fun of their prophet
- biotch, on 01/30/2009, -4/+11"And now, Islamist hardliners are chanting "Death to Obama" and chucking shoes at his picture in Tehran- and driving their cars over his image"
Eesh... something tells me we'll be living with the consequences from this horrible mistake of a war for some time to come.
"Swiss lawyer Mauro Poggia said al-Zeidi planned to seek political asylum in Switzerland, but one of al-Zeidi's brothers denied the report."

This shoe monument will be studied in art history classes around the world.. Bush is witnessing history already beginning to judge him. - jerrycan, on 01/30/2009, -3/+10Look at those Iraqis in the picture, just loafing around and laughing their butts off...
- PixelPusher74, on 01/30/2009, -1/+8I laughed my ass off. And I applaud the guy for doing it. Further I expected exactly what we got from Bush "I don't know what his problem was." Clueless as usual. But hey, at least he has the company of his clueless followers.
- vacax, on 01/30/2009, -0/+7Clearly it is a bush
- adrianmchs, on 01/30/2009, -1/+8No Onion?
- GodIsntReal, on 01/30/2009, -1/+7HAHAHA.
- WhiteHatTrick, on 01/30/2009, -0/+6Edit: yeah they broke his hand and put him in jail.
- aijazbaig1, on 01/30/2009, -2/+8if you really wanted to "liberate" iraq killin so many iraqis and US soldiers in the process, why take the pain to create him in the fist place? That guy saddam was a bloody monster and the US tolerate such things as him attackin iran (maybe that was the goal all along), killin the kurds and the list goes on..read this and perhaps ul learn a bit:
