Honestly, is it something in the sand over there?

Shoe Thrower released
Muntadhar al-Zeidi wrote:These fearsome services, the U.S. intelligence services and its affiliated services, will spare no efforts to track me as an insurgent revolutionary ... in a bid to kill me," he told a news conference at the TV station where he works.


He threw a shoe. Not a nade. Didn't pull a gun. He threw a freakin shoe.

The fact that he got 9months had to do with his country / governments beliefs. I would have bet that Bush requested that he be left to his freedom as that was one of the things we are trying to achieve there. The right to have an opinion and express it in a non-deadly manner without expecting to be killed for it.

So now, he is out and blames the US for his torture while behind bars and feels that since he was not killed while behind bars, where it was easily explainable, that now the hunt it on.

I say its the sand, it could be the ease of drugs, it could be the water, it could be the lack of sexual gratification....but something makes people absolutely crazy over there.....1000virgins when your dead seems like a waste, but something they live to die for....odd.

And holy Shite!!!! - he goes to jail for 9months and they held his job. You go to jail for a few days here and your terminated.

It was 2 shoes, IIRC. And in Iraq, that is a major insult. 9 months? Why didn't we bring him back here, or send him to Guantanamo? He assaulted the President. You or I would get life in prison if we threw anything at the President! If not just shot on the spot.

Maybe it's not what's in the sand, but it's when a certain amount builds up in their bodies, or gets blow up their asses. :shock: Chris.

Guess thats another thing I see wrong....

If someone throws a shoe at me, I am hoping the other one follows. Makes out running his ass alot easier :D

Plus, nothing like having a mismatched pair to really piss someone off. So you grab the one shoe he did throw and take off. He will figure out soon enough who came out on the upper end of that insult :P

I am starting to wonder if its inbreeding now.

1,000 virgins waiting, eh? Hell, I'd go for just one! But I'm not gonna die to get it. And how the hell did 1,000 virgins get to heaven? And who has reported back that they are really up there? Too many long shots. I'll be fine right where I am. ;)

Not sure about inbreeding, but it could be, don't most of the royalty have harems or at least multiple wives? Cute cousins? :P Chris.
