"I think we would do well to send a huge batch of shoes to the Middle East. "

Quick, put in an order to America's shoe manufacturer ... Communist CHINA ... since we no longer manufacture any shoes in the USA.

Come to think of it, we don't manufacture anything in the USA anymore ... that's right, we're, ahem, a service economy.

Well perhaps we can pledge to service the shoes, once they wear them out pounding away on Saddam.

When he saw that older Iraqi in the pictures a couple of weeks ago beating Soddomite's picture with a shoe, he felt that we had won the hearts of the Iraqis who would be freed.

Yes, the use of the shoe is quite a symbol, I wasn't aware of it before now!

If we can get some sense of order before too long, then we would seem to be in pretty good shape. They like the American & British soldier at this point!
