Iraqi Reporter throws shoes at Bush..
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.

New security policy.
All journalist will be nude durings news conferences.

War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
Quite sad really..
The Iraqi army can't hit what they're shooting at and the reporters can't hit what they're throwing at..
The shoe is for sale in E-bay, including the matching pair.
E-bay Label it 'The Burning Shoe Bush!
Oh man - my boy threw his shoes at Dubya! Both uv 'em! If he had a pistol it would have been over. This dude is in a CIA holding facility right now with his testicles tied to a car battery, I'm sure, so I give this dude props, but oh man is he going to pay. Oh man this was classic!'

hehehehe poor bush.. or should i say lucky bush it's only a shoe.. :D
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
"....Bush wasn’t hit by the shoes, one of which sailed over his head. The president shrugged and said “I’m OK” after the incident in Baghdad today. “All I can report is it is a size 10,” Bush said. "
