I found it very interesting how long it took the secret service to respond and then when they did come out from behind the door, they just stopped to see what was happening. He dodged it like a pro, not once but twice.

It represents the rightfully earned distrust and dislike for our long term manipulation, invasion and now occupation of Iraq. We need to get out 100%

I believe the president demonstrated the kind of cat-like reflexes that will serve him well on the ex-presidents public speaking tour. Can't wait until he opens his library.

In the long run...the Iraqis and us will be better off. We cannot stop them from either working together or tearing themselves apart.

You are confused; Iraq was not a theocracy before we invaded. Iraq educated women through college before we invaded. Iraq had women in top government posts before we invaded. Iraqi people wore western world clothing before we invaded.

Secret Service was asleep at the wheel on this one, not one of those guys even pulled their weapon out (probably for political correctness reasons), and guy never should have had an opportunity to get off another tomahawk throw of is shoe. SS should have jacked him up much quicker hopefully he is in jail cell still looking for hit teeth.

In the newspapers, that is why it doesn't need to be rehashed here. what better spin can you morons put on this? for that matter why don't we just dump the whole WP headlines onto this forum and discuss them all? surely there is no other forum out there set up to do that.

A. It's off-topic and I'm sure Cary would move it if he saw it. He does that sort of thing all the time.

B. There's ALREADY a thread over in Off-Topic about this. So not only does the post not belong in the General forum, there was no reason to start it in the first place.

The SHoe Appeared to be quite aerodynamic but too heavy as a result of using heavy leather and thus with Prez Bush's finely honed GOP executive privaliges Skillz was easily able to duck from this clumsy attack. Just imagine if that shoe chucker had three feet and three shoes with wich to fling OR he had simply grabbed shoes from OTHER peoples feet and kept flining them? Would he have been able to bracket bush in hi line of fire and strike his target, leaving a rubber soled imprint on our Prez's face? Not a sermon just a thought.

WASHINGTON – Former White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales misled Congress when he claimed the CIA in 2002 approved information that ended up in the 2003 State of the Union speech about Iraq's alleged effort to buy uranium for its nuclear weapons program, a House committee said Thursday. The committee also expressed skepticism about claims by then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice that she was unaware of the CIA's doubts about the claim before President George W. Bush's speech.

Getting back to the OP's question, I don't really know what to think of the shoe that was thrown at bush. I didn't really get a good look at it.

Was it a wing tip? A loafer?

Obviously the guy who threw it wasn't that fond of his shoes, or he wouldn't have thrown them.

If he had been in America and thrown his shoes at Bush, he would be in Gitmo before the second shoe hit the ground. Or charged with attempted assault, aggravated assault, attempted assassination, etc.

If he had thrown his shoes during Saddam's regime, he would be executed in less than 24 hours, if they didn't feel like torturing him first.

So, I think this is a shining example of the Freedom and Democracy that Bush was trying to bring to Iraq; he has the freedom to throw his shoes, and all he gets is an "insulting a foreign leader" charge. If he gets the full sentence, the arab world is going to riot, with trampling deaths, people setting themselves on fire, etc.

Dude knew what he was doing, and knew that he'd make it out alive.

Really? Don't you think knives are a little smaller and more aerodynamic than a shoe.

How about you stand the same distance away as Bush and see if you can dodge the knives I throw at you?

Ok. As long as I get a big wooden podium in front of me, can see you're going to throw them before you actually do, and you have to throw them both in two seconds.

If you have red hot pokers in your face all day, what is a couple of throwing knives?

BTW - I was making fun earlier when I said he failed a saving throw, he (ferfux) is the one that got all bent out of shape and started the insults. I just fired back :)

Sorry the sarcasm tone of voice doesn't carry well in text conversations :)

And um, you can take the grape jelly and blow it up your own ass if you want. Personally I go for cinnamon apple sauce.

Yeah, but as soon as you pull your arm back, I would duck behind the podium. Like Bush did. I mean, he had a 75% concealment bonus, and he wasn't caught flat-footed. My dexterity's about 16, so I get a +2 to my dodge roll. Not to mention you'd have a -6 to your attack roll for the second knife. You'd seriously need to roll a natural 20 to hit someone in that circumstance.

Do you want to put money on it? I'd say my life's worth about $100,000.

Also, who says he was even trying to hit Bush? Maybe he missed on purpose. Maybe he figured that he wouldn't get much for the insult, but could be charged for all sorts of things if he actually hit. There's people getting busted for aggravated assault for throwing sandwiches at their girlfriends.

Honestly, guys, this one was all me. Bush did a little deal with me to become President, and this marks the beginning of the end for him. He's going to live a long life, yes, but he will live long enough to see that he's only remembered as "the president that started a war in Iraq, and then some guy threw his shoes at him." I believe in a long, slow burn, and I think being universally hated by the entire fucking world is a pretty good start.

I guarantee you this man will fall off the wagon the second he's not president anymore, spurred to binge drinking after seeing the hits for the video on YouTube.

Seriously, I would take you up on that bet if I didn't think I'd be sharing a cell with the actual shoe thrower, just as soon as they pry the knife(s) from your chest.
BTW, I used to throw footballs, baseballs and hatchets pretty good too, back in the day. There is a 100% chance I could bean you with a baseball. This would surely knock you to the ground and give me plenty of time to finish the job with the second baseball.

$100k? That's all?

Don't sell yourself short, man.

I doubt that the master of throwing knives, baseballs, and footballs has even $10.00 to his name. I could have wagered a crackillion dollars, and it wouldn't matter.

He does seem pretty confident, though. I'm just trying to figure out how he's going to get his throw to come back around after it passes above my head, which is placed conveniently behind the podium. Maybe he's like that guy from Daredevil.

He got off two shoes and was able to throw them both before he was pounced on!! To bad Jason Cambell doesn't that much time!

Well, at least my life insurance policy is good for more than $100,000.
I never claimed to be a master, but I did grow up here in Fairfax where throwing baseballs, footballs and knives were a common occurrence, along with b.b. gun battles, firecrackers and other harmful activities.
Too bad you grew up under a rock somewhere, it was a lot of fun.
