Iraqi Journalist Throw Shoes At Bush

[Waqas 48]

BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi television reporter hurled two shoes at President Bush -- one after another -- as he held a news conference Sunday with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

The president -- who dodged both shoes -- was not hurt during the incident.

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, however, was hit in the eye with a microphone as security guards scrambled to restrain the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadiya television -- an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

As al-Zeidi threw the first shoe at Bush, he shouted, "This shoe is for goodbye!" He then yelled, "You dog. You killed Iraqis," as he was tackled to the ground.

Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. Marines toppled it to the ground in 2003.

"All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."

Al-Baghdadiya television later released a statement, demanding the immediate release of reporter Muntadar al-Zeidi, who was detained following the incident. The television network said al-Zeidi threw the shoes at Bush "in accordance with the new era of freedom of speech and democracy that the U.S has promised the Iraqi people."

The president visited the Iraqi capital just 37 days before he hands the war off to President-elect Barack Obama, who has pledged to end it. The president wanted to highlight a drop in violence in a nation still riven by ethnic strife and to celebrate a recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011.

Funny: Same News in their language

President Bush was almost killed today by an assassin's shoe. The would be assassin, Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadiya television, launched two deadly shoe attacks in quick succession, but thanks to Bush's cat like reflexes, the first shoe was dodged. The second shoe thrown by the would be assassin was slightly off coarse do to the interference of another reporter. Do to that interference the second shoe ended up missing the Presidents head, but only by mere inches, it then proceeded to fall harmlessly to the floor after hitting the American flag.

The suspect is reportedly being water boarded at this time. My sources have informed me that they are trying to retrieve information on the location of the terrorist training camp that he so obviously attended. They believe that he was professionally trained in the art of shoe throwing. They emphasize the fact that these were not lightweight tennis shoes, that they were heavy hard healed dress shoes, and were used because of there lethality; they were made to kill.

This all took place while his secret service agents were apparently asleep on the job. President Bush could have been hit in the temple, and may very well have dropped dead right there on the spot. They will need to have an internal investigation into this matter; the President must be protected.

Breaking News : The Shoes have been Traced

The pair of shoes which was thrown at Mr. Bush in Iraq has links to Pakistan, said a statement from Pentagon. They have the following proofs:

i) The journalist had visited Pakistan earlier this year. There he was inspired by the shoe throwing at former CM Arbab Ghulam Rahim and Sher Afghan Niazi.

ii) He received his training of throwing shoes by a Pakistan based Jihadi organization.

iii) The DNA sample of leather has revealed that the animal whose skin was used for manufacturing the shoe had traces of grass which is grown in North of Pakistan and this skin was collected by a Jihadi organization on Eid-ul-Adha this month.

Hearing this, President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani have decided to ban the Jihadi organization and launched a country wide crackdown against all the cobblers in Pakistan.
