Shoe-throwing Iraqi is a hero to some. All of a sudden, Muntadar al-Zaidi, is a hero.

IF THE..’ IRAQ GOVERNMENT”.. PUTS THIS MAN IN JAIL FOUR SEVEN YEARS OR GIVE HIM ANY JAIL TIME AT ALL, THEY WILL CAUSE SUCH A BACKLASH THAT THE U.S. ARMY..AND ALL GROUND FORCES WILL FEEL RIGHT AWAY!. LET THEM HAVE THEIR HERO IT WAS ONLY A SHOE NOT A BULLET. THE COST OF SENDING HIM TO JAIL WILL BE REVENGE FROM BOMBINGS AND MORE LOST OF IRAQ AND FOREIGN LIVES!
what do you mean “to some?” …. the guy done good… keep it up!! if the shoe fits…throw it !!
IF THIS GUY HAS TO DO JAIL TIME! THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ AND OTHER MUSLIMS WILL TAKE REVENGE . NO HARM WAS DONE TO MR BUSH SO LET IT GO! TO MUCH IS A STAKE.
All BS aside, that was very disrespectful. If that had been an American throwing a shoe at a dignitary from another country they would have hung his azz!! I don’t care for Bush, but I do feel that the title of President deserves more respect than that.
I think president Bush was gaining his fame at the end of his presidency. President Bush attacked in Iraq ignoring the United Nations Permission. Though UN is one of the puppet of US. How can
president Bush doing this to Iraqi people? War is not a game. So he get his reward. I hope this will remembered by President Bush until his death.
Dam why he miss? Bush got some good A$$ reflexes!! You will never get a chance like that again he should not have missed Sh!t.
To bad he missed!!!
Apparently the theory of mans evolution is a hype. A pencil is a wonderful tool but in the hands of a criminal, it’s a deadly weapon!
THAT WAS SOME FUNNY SHH.. HE WILL BE FAMOUS FOR THAT FOREVER. IT SHOULD HAVE CLOCKED HIM ON DA HEAD.
What surprised me is that I didn’t know a 63 year old republican could move that fast to the left.

Bush is President of the United States,not the world and if you knew what the guy was saying and paying attention to the news you would be in agreement with him.Anyway it was funny.

Bush is not my favorite person but I felt that was very disrespectful. He still is America’s President and a human being!

The shoe incident was supposed too be a act of disdain and disrepect.Again,Bush is President of the U.S. not the world and in that region Bush is not respected and that is why the reporter is getting cheered.
I’m not a Bush supporter by no means just like the rest of the world, however, he didn’t deserve that. Anyway though, looks like Leno & Letterman just received a silver platter on this one!!!!!!
I wished he would have knocked the HE** out of him. Maybe he would have gotten some since knocked into him. He looks like a no nothing white man who got his finger stuck up his a**. I will be glad when he leaves the white house.
wowwwwwwwwwwww have you seen the weather out there today guyyys it os freezing out there
After his presidency, he’ll have an outstanding career as a dodgeball player
Where was Bush bodyguard? I guess they are tired of his A@$ too.LOL
