My understanding is that Secret Service was effectively told, “Go stand in the back room [several seconds away from POTUS]. No, we won’t do things your way. You’re in Iraq and we’re the Iraqi prime-minister’s security detail, so you’ll do it our way. Buzz off.” Bush decided to proceed with less-than-Secret-Service-level security. It happens from time to time when POTUS is abroad.
Heheheh. A provisional pardon, provided the reporter accepts a crate full of Tinactin and uses it regularly.
This is so very typical of the Arab mindset. Talk a big game, throw the first punch...but when you start getting your arse kicked, beg for a time out/forgiveness/ceasefire etc. Screw you, shoe thrower.
Fine, but the President gets two free throws also. Now, kindly stand by this podium....
What punishment does the Koran suggest for throwing shoes at a powerful leader?

Considering that throwing shoes there is regarded in about the same way as throwing feces here, if he had thrown shoes at Saddam...well, let’s just say I don’t even want to think about it.
I'm sorry for throwing a shoe at you.
Saddam: Put him in the meat grinder feet first!
Hang him upside down by his feet, then whip his feet a thousand times with a cane. Then his request for forgiveness would sound genuine.
Yes I agree, it also refutes the notion of the show throwing being a horrible insult. Severely punishing the guy reinforces the notion.
Give him what the penalty is in Iraq ! And of course pull his licensee for being at any important news conferences. He can’t stop from throwing stuff . Uh electroshock therapy anybody ???
