Shoes thrown at Bush now at 10$ Million ...
By realsomeone •
According to unconfirmed newspaper reports, the former coach of the Iraqi national football team, Adnan Hamad, has offered $100,000 (£65,000) for the shoes, while a Saudi citizen has apparently offered $10m (£6.5m).
The daughter of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Aicha, said her charity would honour the reporter with a medal of courage, saying his action was a "victory for human rights".
The charity called on the media to support Mr Zaidi and put pressure on the Iraqi government to free him.
the shoes thrown at bush we destroyed by security officals the is no question of it being offered any money.........
no big deal, it's just a shoe.. what's all the fuss about... agree with what nadt said....
Well Shajiv, if you think so then entire american nation is to blame for that action not iraquis. But there were rallies and protests in America against the war I believe....
Really, he is not representing American nation? Wao, keep it up!
just lost in woods!!!!!!!!!.
Shajiv, shoes were thrown at a man who plundered their land. not American nation. that anger is for Bush alone not America or it's people..The journalist rightly said it was for the widows and orphans of Iraq..
You mess with Cat you get Claws of Alexa rightly suits the situation....

Thats a good link eco-savvy and pearla.
I should have thrown my shoe to President G.M.A. also and sell it in souq.
Who would've guess that throwing shoes to Dubya will cost the shoe a fortune??

...how come no one had the courage to throw a pair of shoes to saddam when he was in power?
you are right RAMI LEB
Agreed with you.

yep exactly rami leb, some eat grass while others change their cars like they change their underwear. yep priorites are in order...
Good point.
The suffering of ordinary Iraqis and Palestinians continues while Gulf Arabs wait for the next model Mercedes to come out. So much money spent on world cup footballs, mont blanc pens and expensive handbags, but when it comes to helping other Arabs in need....
I cant beleive the saudi citizen is offering 10 million to buy it, imagine how many starving kids he could feed with that money, honestly some arabs have their priorites all wrong..
next time when bush gives any talk, im sure they would not allow any shoes into the hall~
look how he made this video

live and let live
case proven....
I don't see what this journalist has done as stupid after all this guys country has been destroyed and they all blame Bush for it. It was an act of anger, not that I would encourage such reactions but Bush really asked for it.
stupider, Up pops something to put me straight.
GOD BLESS THIS JOURNALIST. IF I WAS HIS MANAGING EDITOR I WOULD GIVE HIM BIG PROMOTION. HOW FITTING OF AN END TO THE WORST PRESIDENT IN USA HISTORY. TOO BAD IT DID NOT SMACK HIM IN THE FACE.
I wouldnt be surprised if it was thrown by an American war widow/mother.
yup they were beating him as he was in the hall. but anyway arabs need more then a shoe throwing hero.
Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but God. Poverty unlocks the door -- what a blessed key!

Wow! The Arabs found a hero! But there's something in the report that caught my attention:
"Muntadar al-Zaidi has suffered a broken hand, broken ribs and internal bleeding, as well as an eye injury, his older brother, Dargham, told the BBC."
And the journalist made sense when he said his actions were for Iraqi widows and orphans..
