George W Bush paid another "surprise" visit to Iraq, on his farewell tour, where he was the target of a pair of shoes, hurled at him by an irate journalist. No, it wasn't an American "journalist" who barely had the temerity to hurl uncomfortable questions at Bush in eight years, let alone a pair of uncomfortable shoes.
Bush blamed the US-led invasion on Saddam, you know, because he was asking for it, standing over there in Baghdad being all alive and crap. Really, was it Saddam who forged the Nigerian yellow cake uranium documents? Was it Saddam who stood before the UN and claimed a mobile weather balloon inflation trailer was in reality a mobile chemical weapons lab? Was it Saddam who claimed to have WMD? (These are all rhetorical questions and if you don't know the answer by now, there is no hope for you)
Bush now claims that "America is safer" since the invasion, a spurious claim since Iraq never posed any threat to the US in the first place. So what is America safer from? Economic collapse? Crumbling infrastructure? No, America will not be entirely safe until you are back on the ranch at Crawford, doing the one job you were competent at: clearing brush.

Yes, America really is safer since we invaded Iraq. The real reason we invaded was, America was being threatened by an intergalactic army of giant green spaceships. We invaded Iraq to thwart this alien space invasion. And it worked. I haven't seen any giant green spaceships anywhere in the last 6 years. Have you?
Helen Thomas might be the only American journalist willing to throw a shoe at the Dear Leader. However, she's probably got bursitis which would prevent her from doing so...
That journalist deserves a medal, not the beating he got from the puppet regime's flunkies.
