VIDEO/POLITICS: IRAQI JOURNALIST THROWS SHOES AT BUSH
Sunday, December 14, 2008
Watch as President George W. Bush ducks two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office to mark the signing of a security agreement.
“This is the farewell kiss, you dog,” the man shouted in Arabic.
Bush wasn’t hit, and announced “I’m okay” after the incident. He added, “All I can report is it is a size 10.”
According to CNN, Hurling shoes at someone, or sitting so that the bottom of a shoe faces another person, is considered an insult among Muslims.

@ 233, WE KNOW ALL THAT ABOUT RAPE,ETC IN THE USA BY INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITIES, BUT ITS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL WHEN ITS THE GOVERNMENT DOING IT. GO OVER THERE AND LIVE. WHAT ABOUT IRAQ’S THREAT TO DESTROY ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE PERSIAN GULF WAR IN THE 90′S. WHERE THE US, WHICH INCLUDED MY BROTHER IN OPERATION DESERT STORM, WERE STATIONED IN SAUDI ARABIA TO DEFEND IT AGAINST POSSIBLE INVASION AFTER THE IRAQIS INVADED KUWAIT, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THERE THAT THE IRAQIS KILLED? YEAH, POOR IRAQ. THE WHOLE REASON FOR THE IRAQ WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS TO PREVENT IRAQ FROM ACQUIRING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! NO ONE WANTS TO BELIEVE IRAQ IS TRYING TO GET ITS HANDS ON NUCLEAR POWER, BUT THEY ARE. HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN THEIR HANDS ON NUCLEAR WEAPONTRY AS IF THEY ARE HONEST PEOPLE AND WILL JUST FESS UP. WHEN THESE TERRORIST GET THAT POWER, THERE WILL BE A NUCLEAR WAR AND WE WILL SEE WHAT WE THINK ABOUT BUSH THEN. AND AS FAR AS OTHER COUNTRIES COMING OVER TO THE USA B/C OF THE BAD THINGS IN OUR HISTORY, WHICH AGAIN WAS NOT THE REASON FOR THE IRAQ WAR, I’M PRETTY SURE THAT SLAVES WOULD NOT HAVE MINDED IT, BUT THE US EVENTUALLY TOOK CARE OF THAT OURSELVES.
