According to Egyptian Al-Masryoon:
main office in Cairo] of the Iraqi TV Al-Baghdadia [where Al-Zaidi works] and to stop showing the clips of Iraqi journalist throwing shoes on Bush because the video fuels hatred of the United States in the Egyptian street, encourages Arabs to follow the same path against Arab officials.
Ridiculous. The US embassy should be closed instead. The reporter expressed his feelings in a way way less aggressive than Bush expressed his desires. Bush deserved the shoes after causing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths for money, and should apologize to the reporter and the rest of Iraq.
Now the reporter is in US Army filthy hands, to be judged by a US-imposed “Justice”. What to expect?
Cheers to Al-Zaidi!!!
Best regards
Interesting turn — I hope some of the English language media reports about this. I had a good deal of trouble finding information about Al-Baghdadia.
Bravo for Al Baghdadia TV. Their journalist is the only one so far who has stood up to our lying bully to his face.
It used to be said that even if you didn;t respect the man, you had to respect the office. Like so much of American government, Bush has trashed that old saw.

Bu$h has fueled hatred for the US globally with his quest for world dominance. Al-Zaidi is now a folk hero for his courageous action and speaking the truth. Bu$h should be held accountable for any harm that may come to Al-Zaidi. Bu$h should have been impeached years ago.
screw al-zaidi.… i hope he got the shit beat out of him.
Al-Zaidi simply put a match to a tinderbox.
All he deserves is a fine and a suspended 30-day sentence.
I don’t think extrajudicial punishment is a good idea; the US Supreme Court and United Nations would agree.
The security folks deserve a bit of a dressing down too.
End of story.
I hail efforts of Bush — That ultimately after great efforts he is able to find “WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION” (WMD) in Iraq, “THE SHOE”, for which he had killed lakhs of Iraqis. The Shoe is the weapon which ultimately drowned the heads of arrogance on knees.

I commend the actions of the journalist in throwing his shoes at Bush.
Egypt should throw out the American ambassador, who is interfering in the affairs of Egypt. Interfering, something the USA is frequently doing in many parts of the world, and should be condemmed for.
Listen, what a patriot Mr.Zaidi is. The only man in the world to make an effort and do what the rest of us have only thought about. We are dealing with a president who’s high crimes against the American people and the rest of the world make Stalin and Mugabi look like boy scouts. When is the rest of the world going to wake up and call this criminal in the white house, who has taken the honourable office of the presidency and turned it in to a den of thieves, what he really is, a dishounorable, lying, thieving traitor. Mr. Zaidi should be given a medal for striking the first blow for the American people and the rest of the human race.
Shame on the rest of us who have had the chance to impeach this son of a bitch and done nothing about it. Like most bully’s he has got away with it.
What a credit to the Iraqi people.
