An Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at President George W. Bush at a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq.

The reporter, Muntazer al-Zaidi first hurled an insult at the American president and then let fly both shoes, one at a time.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog," he yelled in Arabic. The shoe attack came as Bush and al-Maliki were about to shake hands.

Bush laughed off the incident, saying: "It doesn't bother me. If you want the facts, it was a size 10 shoe that he threw".
