BAGHDAD, Dec 14 (Reuters) - An Iraqi reporter called visiting U.S. President George W. Bush a "dog" in Arabic on Sunday and threw his shoes at him during a news conference in Baghdad.

Iraqi security officers and U.S. secret service agents leapt at the man and dragged him struggling and screaming out of the room where Bush was giving a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The shoes missed their target about 15 feet (4.5 metres) away. One sailed over Bush's head as he stood next to Maliki and smacked into the wall behind him. Bush smiled uncomfortably and Maliki looked strained.

"It doesn't bother me," Bush said, urging everyone to calm down as a ruckus broke out in the conference room.

When asked about the incident shortly after, Bush made light of it. "I didn't feel the least threatened by it," he said.

Other Iraqi journalists apologised on behalf of their colleague, a television journalist.

Bush arrived in Baghdad earlier on Sunday on a farewell visit before he leaves office in January. The U.S.-led invasion in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein triggered years of sectarian bloodshed and insurgency in Iraq, killing tens of thousands.

100% staged.

Look.

how the attacker waits for bush to face him before attacking

how his first throw is so far off

how on his second throw bush knows where he is going to throw and barely flinches

and how Maliki even tries to catch the second shoe.

hahahahahaha. These ni&&as are CRAZY!

Throwing shoes at you one at a time is something they do over there and this display was staged.

[RealDrunkGirl]

Are you serious? That humiliated Bush in the world's eyes and G. W. would never agree to even a stage humiliation. The man who threw those shoes was later tortured into apologizing for his actions. That's not what I would call "staged."

[cobead]

750 views is not much of a humilaition.

The shoe-thrower was not tortured, that was staged too.

Instead of ranting about nothing why don't you address the issues I outlined?

What is your problem?

[RealDrunkGirl]

"What is your problem" is a leading question, which tells me you're downright awful when it comes to investigative skills. For example, I will ask you why you stopped beating your mother last Tuesday. Get it? I bet you don't, but would like to see you try to answer that.

I am majoring in Administration of Justice in college and you are no detective, Dickless Tracy. Let's start with this question then: Cui bono.

[cobead]

The difference is that I don't beat my mother but you have many problems.

I get it.

I'm satisfied my investigation has turned up that the shoe attack was staged and that you are a mindless intellectual.

I suggest that you investigate something other than your anus with your index finger.

[RealDrunkGirl]

Evasions noted.

No, you didn't get it as you are saying,. "my proof is my own made up mind," which of course is total nonsense.

You are quite stupid .

[AreoCrayZ]

i'd prefer to see bush get hit by a shit pie

[funnykidyyz]

been waiting for this all year

[cobead]

John Wilkes Booth didn't miss, Lee Harvey Oswald didn't and nor did the nut job who shot Reagan so please shut up. You obviously work for the goverment and are paid to keep people from finding out what's really going on.

[RubenNyborg]

@cobead Oh come OOOON! People like you break the truth in conspiracy theories. Stop making up non-sense. I am convinced that something fishy is going on in the US goverment, and I bet this guy is just as aware of it, but does not make this staged. He knew where the shoe was going? That's like saying a football keeper knows where the penalty will go? Far of? Watch the video again, it was CLOSE. And when planning to throw your shoes at the US president you have a split second, no good time to aim.

[s7559]

i wish that guy had more shoes lol :]

[tenaciousd1888]

Took the Iraqi 2 years to save up for another pair of shoes

[yezidi11]

0:15 secret service agents popped out right away.....dont mess with agents

[ratemyswing1]

Haha secret service comes out of the closet

[Jdog0496]

wow fail if this was Obama he would of caught the shoe, threw it back at the reporter and hitting the point on someones head where there skull explodes, if it exists :)

[stewarj421]
