Secret Service Left Flat Footed by Shoes?


Attacker was able to launch two precisely targeted shoes


Upon reviewing the tape of Bush nibly avoiding two well aimed shoes launched from within 10 feet, One has to ask whether every security detail was followed and if there would be a second shoe attack coming?

Perhaps, I am stepping out of bounds by asking these questions but considering the potential for disaster, we can rest assure that the Heads of security will be asking themselves some very important questions over the next several days.

Regardless, Bush is quite agile for his age, witness the ease and grace at which he avoids being hit with the size 10 shoes. Either way the Iraqi journalist has a really great arm, perhaps he played college baseball at some point, look how fast he unleashed two quick throws despite having to untie his shoes.

Maybe they were velcro strapped, that would have enabled him to save time by not having to bother with shoelaces.
