BAGHDAD – On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent,
President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that
defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity
when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.
"This is a 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.
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.
