On a whirlwind trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, US President George W Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the wars that define his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference in Iraq.
“This is your 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. “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”
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.
EDITORS’ NOTE: Singaporeans are warned not to follow the Iraqi journalist as it may warrant a 20 year prison sentence.
