Baghdad artist Laith al-Amari needed a venue for his shoe statue. Tikrit is the howntown and place of Saam Hussein's capture. The Sunni residents have no love for George W. Bush.
The shoe statue was removed.
"We will not allow anyone to use the government facilities and buildings for political motives," said Abdullah Jabara. Aren't government buildings used everyday by people with political motives?
This is really going to anger the "Bush haters".

I guess for every statue of a horrid dictator, there must be a replacement of a reporter's shoe. If you're keeping score at home, that's 1 for Iraqi frustrations, 23,043 for US and Allied forces.
