He’s probably being told stories of people being shown pictures of a man with panties on his head. Oh, the humanity!

I only wish I had been sitting next to him. I would have attempted to torture him on the spot.

Is “current.com” connected to Algore’s TV cable network Current?

I agree there. People all around the world applauded Bush’s magnanimous response to the guy’s actions. And you could hear him getting beat up on the audio of the video when all those guys jumped on him.

Bush could score major major points with those parts of the world we do care about by interceding to get this guy out of Cropper. Well the taste for vengeance or even humiliation may be natural, it is more becoming in a world power to be generous and forgiving of inconsequential slights that have big publicity consequences.

It won’t be as much fun as pay-per-view waterboarding, but letting the guy go will really stick a spoke in the traditional “Bush-is-a-monster” wheel that the MSM like to spin.

I like the media blabbing about what an insult shoe-throwing is in the “Arab Culture.” That would be the culture that gave us women wearing burlap sacks, camel buggery and child suicide bombers, but likes to remind us how enlightened they were in 1300. For this fellow I have two words: Durka Durka.

Millions of American believe Bush organized the attack on the WTC. This is small potatoes in comparison. Anyone want to set up a pool on when Bush and Chaney are turned over to the Hague?

I think the story of his torture is made-up, unfortunately.

As for the shoe thing itself, I'll bet he was put up to it by American reporters. A grant from Soros's Open Society Foundation?

Iraqis can do with him as they please. As long as Americans aren’t doing the torturing.

That won't fly with the Islamic world.

President Bush - by extension, the United States - is involved in three ways: 1) the shoe was thrown at the US President, 2) the US military was involved, no matter what degree, in his detainment, 3) The US military owns Iraq right now.

This sack of crap needs to be treated with the softest, warmest kid gloves.

Personally I’ve got a towel, a bucket of water, rope and an old door with some holes drilled in it.

Agreed, but the circumstances don't allow it.

If he doesn't care to be tortured then kill him quickly.

As a parting gift to iraq, we should dismantle all the water treatment plants, generators, and infrastructure we built for them. Sorry, only on loan. Since you want us to leave, we take our toys with us. Good luck! If you ever need any help, make sure you call us first. We’ll be happy to tell you to pound salt.

That's nothing. They do that to their women so why can't this wuss take the same?
