President Bush gets shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi Journalist Protest

President Bush is attacked by a shoe-throwing journalist on his farewell visit to Iraq.

On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.
"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.
Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.
"It was a size 10," Bush joked later.

Sadly, Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11. Most of the attention has been diverted from Afghanistan to Iraq, in my opinion. It's too bad that we're hunting in all the wrong places.

I agree...Its just immature and childish. It doesnt matter if you despise the leader, he came on his own time to talk to you you might as well listen and fight him with words. I hate Bush, but I would rather put him in his place with statements rather my shoe.
