Unless you've lived under a rock or avoid any news you've proably seen the video of President Bush getting shoes hurled at him during an Iraqian news conference. The reporter threw the shoes, narrowing missing Bush & hurled insults. One of these insults was calling the President a dog.

I thought Bush handled it very well. He even joked that they were size 10 shoes. Any other thoughts or comments?

I'm trying to locate a video to post for those that haven't seen it yet.

My thought would be that was his thank you for rescueing the bronze skinned people with cloths on their head

i remember when saddam came to power, people who protested in the assembly hall were kindly escorted outside and disposed of properly.

Where were his secret service guys in all this??  They will take a bullet but balk at a shoe??

that is the cost that those who hate the west are trying to impose.  simple game of attrition.  nothing's changed at least since xerxes.

to me, we are weak at that game, usually encouraging the very thing we are trying to reduce.  just like economics with subsidies and mandates.

they say that it caught the SS people off guard. I'll admit that if they react that slowly to shoes being thrown I'd hate to see what would have happened if it was a knife or gun.
