Iraqi throwing shoe, cursing Bush on farewell tour of Iraq will be iconic image of his "legacy"

How can it not be?

Bush and his cohorts desired to liberate the oil of Iraq, not the people. His conduct before during and after the war show no particular concern for the well-being of the Iraqi people. His protestations to the contrary will only look feebler and feebler in retrospect.

There were other countries with tyrants and genocides he could have "liberated" first if his concerns had been strictly humanitarian.

2. We're coming to the end of America's 60 Year Empire...
Net result:

Millions dead....

Hundreds of millions oppressed...

The collapse of American manufacturing...

A nation bankrupted...

A few families made obscenely wealthy....

3. Just in the last few months we've got the falling down drunk at
the Olympics and now the shoe dodge.

Few have ever made such an ass of themselves or inspired so much antagonism on the world stage. What a moran!

4. So there was a shoe at the bottom of that legacy!
Yes, indeed, the shoes will ensure that Dubya is remembered by history as he should be. ;-)

5. Bush does not even have the wit to know that others define your legacy, not you. nt
