FROM RICHARD REID TO MUNTADAR AL-ZAIDA
BAGHDAD -- Muntadar al-Zeidi is indicative of a new wave of terrorist. For years, he has worked undercover, assuming the role of reporter for Cairo-based Al-Baghdadia Television. After years of living a lie, he finally used his credentials to get into a press conference in Baghdad's Green Zone.
The conference was to be a day of solidarity between Nouri al-Maliki, the U.S. Secretary of Iraq, and George W. Bush. However, after Bush and his cabinet member were wrapping up a successfully vague speech, al-Zeidi struck. The shoe missed but it came ever so close to accomplishing for al-Qaeda was the U.S. military cannot--wound the leader of the resistance.
However, the plan revealed one positive for Bush--Al Qaeda is reeling just as badly as Wall Street during these economic times.
Al-Zeidi had this to say from custody, "I put in all of that time and effort and all that they gave me was a freakin' shoe? We can't afford shoe bombs any longer, just shoe."
Editor's Note: Attempted shoe bomber Richard Reid claimed that al-Zeidi didn't realize that it was in fact a shoe bomb, and should feel great shame for screwing up the operation. Reid then realized that he failed to detonate his own shoe before he was halted by a geriatric.
