now listen fred.....if we didn't have to remove our shoes......we wouldn't have the news of the shoe guy in the slam. what would he have to throw? the result at least in airports would be no news at all.....or nothing more than an occassional truck or suicide bomber and a hundred dead. i know it's not as exciting as our president getting pelted with a brogan, but it'll just have to do.

He was pretty good at dodging the shoes. Probably the best moves he made as president!

Iraqi 'shoe-thrower' shot dead by US forces

"An Iraqi man who witnesses said shouted abuse before throwing a shoe at a US army vehicle was shot dead on Wednesday in what the American military said was a suspected grenade attack.

Residents told an AFP reporter in Fallujah that Ahmed Latif, 32, whom they said was mentally disturbed, insulted the soldiers as they patrolled in the centre of the city, and then hurled a shoe at them.

The US military told AFP that a convoy in Fallujah had been attacked with a suspected grenade.

"Positive identification of the attacker was made, and US forces fired in self-defence wounding the attacker," the army said in a statement."

He may have been sick or either stupid.
