Bush visits Iraq to mark passing of security pact

Well on the Link you can see the Video of it!

Apparently Bush said they were .

I am surprised that his security team allowed this to happen, well at least the second shoe being thrown.

Following on from the Shoe Bomber case from Britain and his attempt to light explosives in his shoes on a plane, this may have been a lot worse!

I wonder if all shoe heels are checked before such conferences?

Anyhow to the Arab world as shown in the article this is a real insult, and is equivalent to a westerner giving the middle finger or spitting at some one.

Obviously the journalist was not a good aim, and I doubt very much if he will get a pass for any such future conferences, he might even wake up in Guantamino Bay tomorrow, until it is closed down.

Knew there would be a thread for this.
Can't wait to hear Letterman and Leno's take on the event.
Regardless of what you think of him, twoshooz Bush has decent reflexes.

Yeah that was a good football break!

And yes, he has damn good reflexes... for a deer caught in headlights.

AAC

Say what they may about Bush (He probably deserves that)
You have to admit he didnt back off and at the end of the video he even waved off the secret service.

he was even laughing

If I were Bush I would be on my toes every time I went out into public, too. Especially in the Mid-East. That isn't the "Homeland" out there.

I know it's against the rules to use acronyms but I have to make an exception for this one.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what he gets for totally going to war with a country who was not responsible for 9/11, was not hostile towards America, did not have WMD, and had nothing to do with the war in Afghanistan. Too many civilians died over this man.

Shocking how the reporter was able to miss that big head. Maybe he should have thrown his fists instead.

if only one hit him on the face

we seen what a Pretzel does to him
one can wounder what a shoe would do

Guy should have thrown a brick at him.
Don't care if this is a one line post.

OMG This video is PRICELESS!!!!!! Bush props to him man for having the quick reflexes if he wouldnt of ducked that would of drilled him in the head.

sorry I can't help it.. I could only imgaine 2 shoes flying towards bush with a iraqi person yelling bush you dog1!!!....lol

then bush asking everyone to take off there footware cause they are weapons of mass destructing to bushes pretty face.

lol

you know whats really funny is that this guy probably helped Bushes image I mean if this did not happen I doubt anybody would have taken notice of his activities everybody is focused on Obama and his Chicago issues right now.
