Shoes thrown at Bush on Iraq trip

"This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog"

BBC: A surprise visit by US President George Bush to Iraq has been overshadowed by an incident in which two shoes were thrown at him during a news conference. An Iraqi journalist was wrestled to the floor by security guards after he called Mr Bush "a dog" and threw his footwear, just missing the president. The soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture. In the middle of the news conference with Mr Maliki, a reporter stood up and shouted "this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog," before hurtling his shoes at Mr Bush, narrowly missing him. "All I can report is a size 10," Mr Bush said according to the Associated Press news agency>>>

The Brother of shoe thrower says

by antiIRI (not verified) on

Here that what he says about Iran:

"Dhirgham al-Zaidi, who sometimes worked as his brother's cameraman, described the reporter's hatred for the "material American occupation" and the "moral Iranian occupation."

//www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/12/15/shoe.rep...

So while you Arab supporters are trying to sympathize with them they are saying they hate Iranians.

IranDokht and YT what does Ajam mean?

That is a word used by all Arabs against Iranians.

Another thing if yo ask any Arab who do they hate most Iranian or Jews? they tell you Iranians.

I wish someone could show of Abadan, Ahvaz, basically Khuzestan, how our Iranian people were killed by the Iraqis and for a month they were dancing and killing Iranians.

I wished someone would share those pictures just as a lesson so we know who is our true enemy.

Definition of freedom

by gal51 (not verified) on

The following is from Websters 1828 and I thought I would share it. Please note there are four types of freedoms personal(which no man can take away from you),civil, political and religious.

FREE'DOM, n.

1. A state of exemption from the power or control of another; liberty; exemption from slavery, servitude or confinement. Freedom is personal, civil, political, and religious. [See Liberty.]

2. Particular privileges; franchise; immunity; as the freedom of a city.

3. Power of enjoying franchises.

4. Exemption from fate, necessity, or any constraint in consequence of predetermination or otherwise; as the freedom of the will.

5. Any exemption from constraint or control.

6. Ease or facility of doing any thing. He speaks or acts with freedom.

7. Frankness; boldness. He addressed his audience with freedom.

8. License; improper familiarity; violation of the rules of decorum; with a plural. Beware of what are called innocent freedoms.

That is what happens when IRI supporters can't argue or defend their cause they start to insult:

1. "I might have said this before, I'd much rather read your nonsense than the rest :0) "

2. YT's famous accusations: a) you are uneducated, b) you have mental disorder, etc.

The argument here is and will continue on Iranian.com as long as IRI rules Iran and Iranian people, and that is, IRI regime and its supporters are evil, not only to Iranian people but to the whole world.

Since you claim to be a writer you should have at least answered those questions I had asked. And those questions were related to your own people? For your people.

Maybe I should have said not Iranians, but Palestinians or Iraqis, I am sure you would have done a great deal of research and provided the answers much quicker.

Lady, it is 30 years of agony and abuse from IRI and IRI supporters like you. Do you think I will give up on a blog like this to you and your fellow IRI supporters. The answer is: NO

IRI and their supporters will go like any dictators in the history and I hope we the people of Iran will think about our own people, our own cities, roads, schools and building.

There are no universities in Sistan Baluchistan or Kurdistan or Khuzestan or Gilan, WHY?

So why is our money funding the Lebanese schools or Palestinian schools.

There is a Iranian saying after to many LOL there is whole bunch of crying.

Under IRI system and Islamic law you are lucky if your husband dies you get 1/8 of his assets, since you are a women and that is what you deserve under Islamic law.

Or if you husband beats you up and you want a divorce you can't get custody of your kids. You are a women. hail to IRI

Now worry about Arab and Palestinians while they were dancing on the streets when Iranians were killed during Iran-Iraq war.

I bet with you JJ knows about how our soldiers died in the battle. He is a veteran of Iran-Iraq war and was a journalist then. He has seen first hand the cruelty of that war imposed upon us by the Arab states and funded by Pan-Arab regimes.

I will keep exposing IRI supporters

Leave USA, go to Saudi Arabia

by samsam1111 on

Arab regime closet pimps 1st loyality is to their Arab cousins in Iraq/Palestines & so on..These zombiis of Pan-Arabi culture & ommatis think of Iran as a sacrificial lamb so their seyed Arab Ali khamenei & Arab mullahs can see to it that their 1400 yr old dream of total eradicadition of Iranic values is finalized & Seyed Arabs finally march on claiming their Qadesiyeh war trophy on ashes of true Iran . Bush or imperialism or  other kakamaini crap games is just a side show  for these die hard mullah lovers to divert attention from the real occupation by their  kinzmen over Arab occupied V-ran(Iran) .  Since Qadesiyeh The Arab genociders & their descendents (internal&external) have massacared millions over millions of Iranic folks yet their thirst for more Irani blood is unstoppabel . Hey lets call em hajii Draculas ..tofoo bar to ay charkheh gardoon tofoo..akh toof loooooool ..

Sorry but reality hurts. No matter how much typical anti-Israel nonesense you resort to in clear limitation of your glorious sources of emlation. Another example why you can never leave that dirty baggage behind. It''s deep rooted in the mentatity and the up bringing. What ever. It's just that it's a bummer to live an entire life in delusion.

I couldn't care less about what delusions you have of what you are. As I said, n matter what any worthless piece of paper might say. You have no clue about what being free means, and how expensive it is in terms of commitment to it ideals. You are just a tird world resident American wanna be who are brought up with the typical third world midle eastern mentality that compels you to bow your head as low as it gets for any thug in the corner and raise your voice to spew crab when others die and fight to preseve that freedom of speach. You merly reside here and suck America's resources. That is all.
You are no American, and you will never be one.

What's that to you? LOL. Americans don't have mullahs over them and they don't use any opportunity to excuse them or justify doing nothing about them. Americans would have fought them to death and remained free. Get a grip of your reality and your position. Don't be under any delusions in this regard, "Americans" don't apply to you, no matter what any worthless sheet of paper might say.
Heh.

baba we're having fun, a whole lot of Americans are having a laugh at GWB for this shoe throwing incident, why are we supposed to explain our reasons for supporting this action? ask the millions of Americans who are sending emails and having online discussions about the story what they thought of the shoe! Leave us alone go back to your country andfight the arabs for it.

Answer the question

by Zion on

Q, what do you think of Saddam? Do you support his stance against imperialists and Zionist in the last decade of his reign? Was he a free man for you?
A big part of your "real" "freedom fighters" in Iraq and Palestine regard him as a hero and a martyr. Be honest and consistent. Let it out.


Q

Oh-oh! Another MEK terrorist supporter?

by Q on

Oh, I see. So, once again, a discussion about a video featuring people like George Bush has been turned around to be about individual people on this board by check-mated losers who have nothing to say on the substance of the topic and waste time with what I believe and who I supposedly support.

are you saying that your resume says: expert in exposing IRI supporters and the best you could do was YT, Q and me?

Irandokht, I believe there is a word invented for people who spend their time doing this as their job: loser. So please use the shorthand from now on.

one of the very few who actually fight the Islamo-fascists in Tehran nonstop. This is what free men are like, and they deserve freedom.

Is that what Zion is saying? It's a sign of "freedom" to attack and kill Iranians? Could this be why Israel is funding "freedom fighter" Rajavi?

Just toying with you Zion! See how easily I can play your game?

But it is interesting that taking up arms against one's own people, rather than foreign occupiers is what's considered "patriotic" in your book. Of course I'm sure you (as ALWAYS) hold Israel to the same standards!

Only Zionists would think that foreign-funded "freedom fighters" are "free men".

UN official calls Israel 'Apartheid'.....

by YT (not verified) on

Master antiIRI,
Now that I have you to keep up with news a bit, here is something that might be of and interest to you and Mr/Ms Zion:

//current.com/items/89623633/un_official_call...

[....UN General Assembly President Miguel d'Escoto referred to Israel as an Apartheid state. Phyllis Bennis analyzes the significance of this identification as compared to South African apartheid and the popular resistance struggles worldwide that helped end it. Isreali apartheid is built into a system of roads, walls, and fences which create segregation of Palestinians and Jews both inside the West Bank and between the West Bank and Israel. Gazan Palestinians are separated from Israel and West Bank Palestinians by the siege imposed by Israel after the election of Hamas. Bennis analyses the validity of the term 'apartheid' in the case of Israel and the proposed peace plan many Arab states have presented as a possible solution....]

Have a wonderful day

On "martyred heroes", real brave men and scum

by Zion on

The usual suspects make noise again. Racism? lol. The guy is a true nationalist eh? You like him so much don't you. Wanna bet he also adores the memory of his glorious martyred leader Saddam? You do too? Come to think of it, he stood up to the zionist and imperialists during the last decade of his reign as well. He even threw rockets at Tel Aviv. If that doesn't make a hero of a man, i don't know what does. He Should be one of you guy's heroes. Come on. Be consistent now, all of you! ;-)
So, Bush is directly responsible for 1.2 million Iraqi dead. Is that right? I thought it were the various islamist insurgents killing each other or blowing their muslim brethren up, you know, your 'freedom fighter' buddies. How come there is no such death toll among kurdish regions? I tell you why. Because Kurds are brave human beings, free men who fought Saddam and now regulate their region with security and freedom. The same way Kurds in Iran are one of the very few who actually fight the Islamo-fascists in Tehran nonstop. This is what free men are like, and they deserve freedom.
It is at times like this one realizes what a mistake the Iraq war was.
The Kurds, the only people who deserved help and freedom, were already autonomous, and the rest of the shiite and sunni rabble deserved no better than Saddam. They should have been left to rot under Saddam, his sons, his grandsons and so on. They would bever have been able to do shot to get an epsilon closer to democracy and freedom by themselves anyway.
Now just look at them. America has lost so much PR, money , young men and reputation over what? These scum?!

Shoes

Love to see how much those "SHOES" would fetch on eBay???
Priceless............

Mr IQ, it seems as if you are the shoe!

by Shahrex on

Having noticed your cerebral secretions here and there i see  traces of sympathy for Ayatollah Khomeini, Saddam Hossein and a hidden anti-Americanism.

I am sure you have thrown many shoes, or i dont know, perhaps Givehs and dampaiis, but the least one could expect from you here would be intelligence enough not to particpate in the party as a senile nude. Your confirmative attitude towards that shoe thrower reveals your lack of morals, i am sure you had applauded that "Journalist" still more if he had cast a granade towards Bush.

Besides, can you yourself throw a shoe to Ahmadinejad? Ofcourse not, not because of your lack of courage, but because of your love affair with that Bouzineh!

by Souri on

I liked your post, especially the last part was hilarious !! Yes, civilized people use tanks and planes !!!

This reminded me of that old joke about an Iranian man who saved a lady in Central park from a dog's attack. The next day, everybody read on the news : Iranian terrorist killed American dog in Central park !!!

Now, one should ask Zion, what she would think about , if the role were inversed ?? If this was an American or Israeli who would threw (not their shoes of course, they are too civlized  for that) but anything else, at an Arab leader in a news conference !


Q

Re: "pile of dirt"

by Q on

Wow, the racist bigotry here is truly reaching astronomical levels.

The pile of dirt who threw his shoe just proved he is no better than a rabid savage beast, and those who support his action here, applaud it or find excuses for it prove they are no better than him

You see, this is how it works: An ordinary Iraqi throws his shoe in a clear symbolic gesture of disgust. He throws the shoes at the man directly responsible for deaths of over 1.2 Million of his countrymen, and making another 4 million homeless, ruining the country and stealing its resources, all based on malicious, willful lies.

But of course it is the guy who threw the shoes who is a "pile of dirt" and "no better than rabid savage beast."

Yes, that's the rabid savage beast in that conference room!

How backward, savage and rude! Civilized people would never do such a thing. They just use tanks and planes.

Your comment:

"Is that what you're doing every day on this website? Are you providing food and freedom for Iranians by visiting this website following YT, souri and me around and asking us IRI related questions? LOL that was cute! Thanks for the chuckle. "

Yes, everyone has different skills. And my skill is to expose IRI supporters like you and YT and Q.

As far as those IRI questions did you get the answers or would you like me to provide it to you?

I thought since you pretend you know everything I was hoping to get the answers from you as soon as possible so you can enlighten Iranian readers on this web site.

You also said:

"Now you can go back and use another ID to follow up and show support for yourself."

That one I don't have any answers, that clearly shows you are paranoid. A typical symptom of IRI and its supporters.Hence, savage killing of Iranian people and EVIN prison.
