BAGHDAD (Reuters) – During his final visit to Iraq Bush came under fire from a local Iraqi reporter who yelled out, “This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog!” and then the angry reporter hurled his shoes at our President. Throwing shoes in the Arab world is a supreme insult. The reporter was dragged by security agents
from the conference room kicking and screaming and has not been seen since. However, we can be fairly certain that his fate will not be as bad as if Saddam were still in charge.

Pres. Bush held talks with President Jalal Talabani and Maliki during the visit. Talabani called Bush a great friend of the Iraqi people “who helped us to liberate our country.”
