Let 'em throw shoes over THERE so we don't have to deal with them throwing shoes over HERE, I guess....

6. shoes are significant

My sister who trains Guardsman at Camp Shelby showed me an official brochure regarding do's and don'ts in the Middle East.
You are never ever to show a Muslim the bottom of your feet or shoes. You are always to sit flat-footed or sit with you feet under you. Showing the soles of your feet or shoes is the same as flipping off someone over there. I had seen this before in video from the Gulf War with old women shaking their shoes at bus loads of Iraqis being sent back from Kuwait.
I guess they have taken it to a new level.

7. Our "allies" the Shi'ite's pelted him. Not a good sign.

Wow, did the neoconnivers mis-read the politics of this place.

[Disturbed]

9. Most Iraqis that aren't on the Neocon Payroll hate this goon.

The view him as a US puppet and colaberator in the dstruction of Iraq and the deaths of many Iraqis.
