Bangkoktraveler Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Sorry. I don't take orders from lying' date=' psychotic piles of shit such as yourself.[/quote'] Obviously you are unaware of the meaning of phychotic since you are the one with inane ramblings that are demonsrated by your mental disorder characterized by symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations, that indicate impaired contact with reality. Mekong, you got to go easy on rogie. rogie can't believe he has been lied to so much but what is even worse, is that he believed all of the lies. He is contemplating going back being a Democrat again which means he might be on suicidal watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The shoe chucker got thrown in the slammer anyway. Probably getting his testicles fitted up for a pair of electrodes right now. Link BAGHDAD (AFP) - - Iraq faced mounting calls on Monday to release the journalist who hurled his shoes at George W. Bush, an action branded shameful by the government but hailed in the Arab world as an ideal parting gift to the unpopular US president. Colleagues of Muntazer al-Zaidi , who works for independent Iraqi television station Al-Baghdadia, said he "detested America" and had been plotting such an attack for months against the man who ordered the war on his country. "Throwing the shoes at Bush was the best goodbye kiss ever... it expresses how Iraqis and other Arabs hate Bush," wrote Musa Barhoumeh, editor of Jordan's independent Al-Gahd newspaper. Hundreds of Iraqis joined anti-US demonstrations to protest at Bush's farewell visit on Sunday to Iraq, which was plunged into a deadly insurgency and near civil war in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion.

rogueyam Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Getting back to the original topic and to add a bit of levity. After reviewing the video there is someone behind a carpeted knoll. I contend there was a second shoe thrower and the guy on the video was not the 'sole' thrower (drummer rim shot please). This may be part of a larger conspiracy. The shoe thrower is responsible for 9-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 My favorite part of this whole circus is the "outrage" expressed by the shoe-thrower's t.v. station that he was arrested: "Al-Baghdadia issued a statement demanding Zaidi's release 'in line with the democracy and freedom of expression that the American authorities promised the Iraqi people.' "'Any measures against Muntazer will be considered the acts of a dictatorial regime,' it added." Talk about not having a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I seriously doubt that Iraq or, for that matter any other country in the region, is ready for true democracy. Traditionally these countries have been much more stable and more friendly to the West when ruled by an elite minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I seriously doubt that Iraq or, for that matter any other country in the region, is ready for true democracy. You gotta crawl before you can walk. It all boils down to the rationale Pres. Bush and V.P. Cheney laid out so clearly after 9/11: Eventually WMD will be available off-the-shelf to all with money. The Middle Eastern countries will be awash in money for so long as oil has value, which means for some time yet. How, then, can we hope to keep WMD from being used against us? We either have to set up and maintain a defensive perimeter that works 100% of the time (essentially impossible) or we have to help bring about social and political transformation throughout the Muslim world such that the Muslims themselves oppose and thwart terrorism directed against us (highly difficult). What other options do we have? We do not promote demoracy in Iraq because it is easy and likely to work (it isn't) nor simply because it would make Iraqis better off (though it would). We promote freedom and democracy in the Muslim world because it is the only available long-term strategy against jihad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
