Bush Was Thrown Shoes During Press Conference in Iraq

US President, George W. Bush was thrown shoes during his press conference with prime minister of Iraq, Nouri Al Maliki, about the security agreement. The security agreement is about U.S troops that are going to leave Iraq earlier this year. After he had just finished his prepared remark, a journalist named Muthathar Al Zaidi, pulled his shoes off and threw them to Bush. He shouted, "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog."

After that incident, Zaidi and his shoes become popular. An Arabic man, bid Zaidi's shoes for US$ 10 millions. Zaidi also will get a bravery medal from Muammar Qadhafi's daughter. Muammar Qadhafi is the leader of Libya.

Dubya got a real kick out of this. In Saddam's day this reporter would have been fed to the plastic shredder, after watching his wife and daughters get gang-raped.

All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.
