Reporter Throws His Shoes at Bush

December 15th, 2008

Reporter throws his shoes at Bush. Saying that he was angry over the deaths of women and children at the hands of U.S. military personnel, a reporter for a Baghdad TV station hurled his shoes at President Bush Sunday, barely missing Bush, who was in the middle of a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. “This is a farewell kiss, you dog,” Muntadar al-Zeidi yelled in Arabic as he hurled his shoes at Bush. “This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.” Al-Zeidi, identified as television correspondent, was wrestled to the ground by members of the crowd. “So what if the guy threw a shoe at me?” said Bush, who narrowly missed being hit in the head. “If you want the facts, it was a size 10,” he joked. He continued with jokes later aboard Air Force One, when he quipped, “I didn’t know what the guy said but I saw his `sole, ” The Associated Press reported.

Well to me i thought the incident was totally uncalled for, just think those people over there don’t care about no one. I was just wondering what was bush thinking about. Im tired of people getting hurt no matter who they are and what they stand for.

ladyofwisdom, invading a country to steal their oil resources is not “taking care of that country”maybe you think it is but it isnt. you need to be drilling for oil in alaska not destroying other nations and leaving the already wretched even more wretched than ever.. i have no time for american foreign policy it sucks big time .no other nation on this earth would have got away with what your country has done in iraq but america got away with it because of her military capability not because she is loved.
