Times of India - 16/12/08It was an emotional farewell, but not quite in the way US president George W Bush might have expected. His press conference in Baghdad took a dramatic turn as TV reporter Muntazer al-Zaidi shouted, ‘‘This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog,’’ and hurled a size 10 shoe at the US prez, forcing him to duck, followed by another, which sailed over Bush’s head. Zaidi, dragged away kicking and screaming and placed under detention, has been hailed by many Iraqis. Bush later laughed off the incident, saying, “I don't know what the guy said, but I saw his sole.”
