Journalist Throws Shoes At Bush During Iraq Visit
Sky News
Sunday, December 14, 2008
Note: Corporate media outlets are not reporting what the man said as he threw the shoes, “This is the farewell kiss you dog….this is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”
President Bush has faced a hostile reception on his farewell visit to Iraq just a month before he leaves office.
An Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at Mr Bush who managed to dodge the missiles while security personnel leapt on the reporter.
“This is the end!” shouted the protester, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadiya TV, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.
Mr Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.
The incident happened during a news conference in Baghdad with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
“All I can report,” the president joked later, “is a size 10.”

Fuck yeah!! Should of been a bullet.
December 14th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I tell ya he deserves more than that for all the murdering he has done in Iraq. That was awsome! Bush baby didnt know what to do did he?? LOL….What a scum bag. I am surprised Bush has the nerve to even show his face there in the first place. Maybe he had a shot of liquid courage before hand. How dry i am. Hiccup!!
December 14th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Hilarious, That man spoke for hundreds of millions of people!
December 14th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Bush knows how to duck.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Well bush wasn’t drunk there, pretty quick reaction time. Funny stuff tho
December 14th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
BBC did report what the journalist has said.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
“This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.”
BBC didn’t report that, at least it wasn’t in their article when I read it.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
he is lucky he didn’t get more thrown at him.He deserved it!
December 14th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Hey notice his goofy handshake before the shoes.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
LMAO, it woulda been better if the reporter walked in dog shit first.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
The journalist will be dead within a year, more than likely in an event that murders many of his family too. He showed infinitely more bravery than any of us here.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
HAHA!!! That’s what he deserves.
December 14th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
This could be the beginning of a whole new social trend. Ladies and Gentlemen: Start your shoes!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I would throw more than a shoe !! My underwear would have been over his head ..
December 14th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I am surprised that Bush actually knows how to duck! Usually he just sits there with that stupid look on his face! LMAO This video made my day!
December 14th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
TE HE HE HE HE.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Its a shame that this guy put himself at risk. He could have chanted those true words without giving security guards an excuse to strip search all journalists and take away their shoes prior to a press conference.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I would Trowh the first in a bow to get his attention on the shoe in the air and blaze him with the other one in his face..Perfect!!
December 14th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Excellent !!…..Now,…Bush and his buddies should be tried in The Hague for war crimes.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
A shoe huh? I guess they patted them all down for hand grenades before the press conference.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
this must be why we have to take our shoes off before entering airplane checkpoints, just in case our president happens to be working the x-ray machine.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
You got that right Vein. Pray for his safety. He did it for all of us!
December 14th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Too bad he didn’t have anything better than a shoe – and yes, he is a very brave man – and Bush is not a dog, he is something from the pits of Hell.
December 14th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Bush should have been impeached after 9/11 and for a senseless no win Iraqi war.he deserves to be tried as a war criminal but, his allegiance is not to the Constitution or to the people but to the globalist elite whom he has serve faithfully!!
December 14th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Good , for that guy . And all of you who say he should have done more , you are correct . But then he would be dead probably . They will most likely beat the shit out of him though .
When I was there in 2006-2008 , on my tour , I learned that showing them the soul of your shoe was a great insult . So throwing your shoe at someone has got to be uber insulting . Hope they don’t give the guy to the Iraqis though . They have a bit looser standards on punishment than we do , in regards to physical abuse . When we had a guy that we needed info from , and we knew he had it , we would give them to the Iraqi Army guys for a little bit . Then a short while later we would have the info we needed .
December 14th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
I hope he doesn’t end up committing suicide by shooting himself 4 times in the back of his head.
He has guts, my hat and shoes off to him!
December 14th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
i think reading the comments provides more enjoyment than the actual flick !!! good posts folks !!!!!

Isn’t that a bitch. To bad our journalists don’t have the balls to even ask him a relevant question let alone the courage of this Iraqi who was probably water-boarded into his grave an hour or two later.
December 14th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Too bad the retard managed to duck. That journalist had quite the aim, should play for the Jays… Anyone heard the song, “Idiot son of an asshole”? By NOFX?
December 14th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Just you watch: from now on they’ll make journalists take off their shoes before being admitted to press conferences!
December 14th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Great! Only barefoot reporters in press conferences now… only “al Qaeda” wears shoes.
December 14th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Total inside job!!!! just kidding. Gotta admit, Bush has some jukes.
December 14th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
He should have thrown flip flops at him. )
December 14th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
honestly, who throws his shoe? wish he hit that neocon puppet
December 14th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Next time use steel -toed boots.
December 14th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
False Flag shoes
December 14th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Bush finally found a WMD
December 14th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Ho Ho Ho!!!
Christmas has come early this year!
December 14th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Hear what Bush said about the ’shoe slinger’ here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOhem-qUazY
December 14th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Why, oh why, couldn’t he have had a gun? Nevertheless, this guy is now going on my hero list. Thank you, Muntadar al-Zeidi.
December 14th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Bush may have dodged a hurtling shoe, but his problems haven’t even begun because there is no peace for the wicked and there is no refuge for a mass murderer. God will not allow this smirking war criminal even one minute of emotional/spiritual rest. The blood of slaughtered Iraqis–especially children– cries out from the ground for justice; and God has heard their cry!
Bush is covered in the blood of slaughtered innocents & he is clearly exhibiting signs of mental illness. We’ll continue to witness his brisk downfall as the innocent blood that he shed pulls him down into increasing insanity–and eventually– into the abyss.
He’s not alone. The Bible says “Thou shalt not murder.” Putting on a military uniform and killing people is still murder. It’s still a sin. If you have family/friends in the service and they participated in this warcrime, they are in grave spiritual danger. There are consequences for sin, especially murder. You can’t follow Jesus Christ and be a murderer.
December 14th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
A courageous man who is standing up for his people and his country and the children of his country. How can you find fault with this man when he saw a true IDIOT who’s agenda was not for his country but vengeance for his father. Yes Repub, some of us know and take note. The American people should take note of this farewell to an IDIOT. Saudis perpetrated 911 you damned idiots.
December 14th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
The shoe might not have hit Satan Clause in the head, but it sure looked like it struck the gold trimmed Nazi flag standing behind him, and that’s good enough for me. Notice you could hear them kicking the protestor when he was down on the floor.
Could very well be this was staged, to condition us for the FEMA camps that are in the waiting.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
This dog should be executed for insulting our President. These Muslims are nothing but barbaric animals.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Draconius Horribilis, you got it backwards. Americans are the barbaric animals killing millions of innocent people around the world just to a make a buck, or should I say a few billion bucks. Bush needs to be tried for mass murder and war crimes either of which will lead him to the gas chamber. It’s amazing how you Americans know nothing about what is really going on in the world. You just believe what your masters tell you. Sad lemmings you are.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Where’s Nolan Ryan when you need him? I would have loved to see bush sporting a huge B&B mark from getting bonked on the head, maybe a few stitches, a bloody nose.
December 14th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
You guys are classic,I agree with rich,
the comments are better than the actual story,
Keep it up,I need a good laugh

December 14th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I do think that from now on the pres will be required to wear headgear at all press conferences
December 14th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I would have wait and pretend to be really excite to be near such honorable man,ten when I shake his hand,I knee him in nuts,
December 14th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
you can’t help but admire those quick, reptilian-like reflexes.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
COOL NAME HUH,,
December 14th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
America ought to be a friend to all, indeed by her act, a light unto the world.
May God have mercy upon us all.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Yeah, well far be it from me to defend Bush, but if this guy REALLY had wanted to stand up for widows and orphans of his country, shouldn’t he have thrown his buster browns at Saddam long ago? It’s great to stand up for what you believe in, but why not do it when you know you’re not fully safe? It might just influence enough people so a clown like Bush doesn’t have a reason to promote his NWO.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Too bad he didn’t throw camel feces,that would have surely spread far and wide,and would have probably at least hit bush…
INFERNO
December 14th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I don’t think god will deal any punishment to him. there have been men who have done much worse, the only time they got what they deserved is when we held them accountable.
religous people always want to believe that god, allayh, or who ever is going to step in solve
all the major problems we face. that is quite frankley irresposible and its a recipe for disaster. We and we alone have the power with in ourselves to make the world a better place. We can be real about it and make the moves and ajustments to get along and take
care of eachother. Or we can truck along and seperate ourselves with religon, money, and
close minded outlooks on reality. People can argue this point all they want. But they are going to have face reality sooner or later. Think about it.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Bravo,bravo, this dog like his dad think that he is a loved one? may the punishment and wrath of the mighty lord blast over this garbage(gwb) , his family, colaborators and masters . Blessed be the lord.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Bush murders thousands of people, and somehow is lucky enough to dodge the shoes thrown at him. It does not seem right, seems like he should have at least been beamed in the face with one of those shoes.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Draconius—–Imagine the United States is invaded tomorrow by (fill in the blank), but let’s just say….Canadians. The Canadians said we had WMD’s which we didnt and it is discovered not soon after the invasion began that the war was all based on one big fucking lie…yet it continued and more Americans were slaughtered in this invasion. In fact, 1 million of us were slaughtered to be exact. You start seeing pictures of decapitated babies, blown up American citizens all being thrown onto trucks to be buried in a big hole and you cried out for it to stop…yet it continued. Now, imagine there are reports issued by the Canadian government that said we never had WMD’s, nor did we ever have the capability of making any nukes and you start putting this puzzle together….that the invasion was just a big fucking front in order to imperialize Canada and for them to secure our oil fields. You begin seeing poll numbers in the news that the popularity of the Canadian president is declining rapidly and that many of Canada’s own citizens even think their president was involved in their worst terror attack ever. Now imagine the Canadian president making a final visit to the USA and he is greeted with respect by our President and they have a news conference where no one is condemning the Canadian president for the 1 million deaths of your fellow citizens. Imgine you are an American news reporter and you despise the Canadian president for the war he started based on lies and the slaughter of your fellow countrymen. Are you trying to tell me you wouldnt be consumed by immense hatred for this man standing behind a podium talking about how there’s been “progress” in your completely destroyed country? You wouldnt AT LEAST throw your shoes at him???????
December 14th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
TheTenia—–maybe you dont understand how it was under Hussein. If you even spoke bad about Saddam you would have been killed. Imagine what throwing shoes at him would have gotten you.
December 14th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
very funny stuff
December 14th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Cairo, The reality we all must face is ultimately, “EVERY knee WILL bow and Every tongue confess that JESUS IS LORD!!…..Like it or not my brother, THATS how IT IS!

December 14th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
thats just awesome! i’ve been posting this all over facebook since i saw it in my bbc rss feed, they reported the full item and have been running it all night since. Man what a good couple of days, first we have the georgia guide stones vandalised and now this. why do i get the impression that things are slowly being wound up for the fight against these traitors? and if so its about time!
Check out and support my band on facebook and myspace. search for Oblivion Gene!
December 14th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
additionally i would like to add that we would like to hear from ALL 9/11 and anti NWO groups and individuals so we can continue to expand OUR support for the cause even if you dont like the music! Thanks
December 14th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
do we need to redefine the term “lame duck president” ? bush seemed quite quick to duck and that second shoe, damn i bet he felt that one whiz past. fantastic and cheers for infowars telling us what he said,
December 14th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
I am surprised no Secret Service Agent didn’t dive out and take the shot from the shoe in defense of Bush… No diving agent…. I am kind of disappointed….
December 14th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
lmao to bad he didnt have on steal toes on at the time!!!
December 14th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
@ father time
like I said you are going to have to face reality sooner or later.
you want to believe the point you just made, fine. if You want to believe “thats how it
is” go right ahead, thats your choice and I respect that. But the world doesn’t fuction off the
christian perspective alone, there are many different religons and they all say the same
thing “MY GOD IS THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO SALVATION”. To someone you are always wrong and you are damned to hell. isn’t that Funny how that works? Sounds to me like people
trying to control people with fear. the elite use this as tool to CONTROL you. they will
do everything in there power to make you believe you are something you are not.
they will do anything to make sure that the events listed inside revealtion come true
to keep you in there grasp. meanwhile you wait for your savour and take no resposibilty in fixing major problems that are killing our species, other life forms, and our planet. its really a solid plan on there part and its working well. Like I said believe what you want and say what ever you want about me. But it doesn’t change anything. We are in big trouble
because we enslave ourselves with our own ideas.
December 14th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
An excerpt from Politico,
“Bush was cool under fire and prevented an even bigger incident by waving off his lead Secret Service agent, who was prepared to extract him from the room…”
December 14th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
“All I can report,” the president said later, “is I’m a Luciferian with maybe 10 brain cells.”
December 14th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
He ducks both shots. What does that say about us getting justice? : (
December 14th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Should have thrown a rabid cat at him… It would have continued clawing and biting even after they tackled the reporter…. lol
December 15th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Bush was lucky in that it was just a boot and not lead.
December 15th, 2008 at 12:15 am
We should start a shoe drive and send bush a million smelly shoes.
December 15th, 2008 at 12:24 am
I see capitalism coming in! New game at amusement parks! Toss the shoe at the photo of bush for $1. Hit the bullseye and win a fluffy teddy bear…
December 15th, 2008 at 12:31 am
What i would have liked to see is the rest of the journalists
take off thier shoes and start throwing them also.
Good job!
December 15th, 2008 at 12:36 am
I think this Orwell quote sums it up pretty well! lol
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever
December 15th, 2008 at 3:02 am
Holy $hit , that is about the fasting thinking Bush has done in the last 10 years !!!!!!!!! Pretty impressive , when he get home his daddy’s going to take him to Mcdonalds for a happy meal & the toy !!! Bush can’t wait to get home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 15th, 2008 at 3:12 am
Well our media up here in Canada reported “everthing” the man said

George Bush is evil. He has the blood of innocent men women and children on his hands. How does he sleep? God bless the man who throw his shoes.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:22 am
The German mainstream media did NOT report correctly what the man said. They spun it.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:27 am
damn that dude was like a penny loafer ninja. if he had been standing even 2 inches closer both of those shoes would have been in bush’s mouth. Gotta hand it to lil bush too, quick dodge and didn’t appear to be shook or shocked, considering he was in the middle of iraq, I woulda put money on him pissin his knickers and queefing as he fainted
December 15th, 2008 at 4:37 am
@ 73 – I agree!!
December 15th, 2008 at 4:49 am
He WAS afraid, you can see it in his eyes!! It should have been poison-dipped shurikens not shoes in my opinion!
December 15th, 2008 at 4:50 am
The vile and the war criminal Bush in additional to his criminal regime is definitely going to ended up by shoes storm even if he is in the grave.
December 15th, 2008 at 4:52 am
#73 “We should start a shoe drive and send bush a million smelly shoes.”
YES! YES! YES!
December 15th, 2008 at 7:09 am
Listen guys, may I repeat. The New York Times and CNN among other outlets have reported this story in full. I don’t give a shit if maybe your special Canadian media reported about it, when you outright lie about what our media said.
Also for as much as I didn’t support this war and still don’t. You guys need to remember that none of your will be arrested for what you post here. In Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq under Saddam you’d be at risk of jail and torture.
December 15th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Karl—-you can get tortured in the USA too pal—havent you heard? They are currently working on a bill that makes anyone who posts comments like these considered “terrorist sympathizers”—which would mean we could be sent to Gitmo and have our balls hooked up to jumper cables. Ever heard of HR 1955?
December 15th, 2008 at 7:40 am
it’s quite shocking. this time it was a shoe , next time it could be bullet… i was shocked to see bush video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSztEY4r9Ic )
December 15th, 2008 at 7:40 am
# 45 Jenny C you are a moron. Or did you forget where this site originates?
December 15th, 2008 at 7:56 am
thats the funniest thing i seen 4 a while lol ……..liverpool england everyone laughing there fukin head off ha ha ha hah ha h ah ah a holy fuk he must be a terrorist lol
December 15th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Does this mean that terrorists are now being trained to use quick access, rapid deployment “mobile” weaponry in attacks? These light weapons are hand launched and can reach a top speed from attacker to president in 1.5 seconds.
Well, I guess, it’s one hell of a way to dodge a “quick fire” question! Har har.
But seriously, will journalists now be required to remove their footwear before attending all press conferences as a matter of National Security? Probably.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:46 am
What goes around comes around. I hope.
December 15th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Oh man, i would’ve given my left nut to see Bush take a shoe in the face! Bet that reporter finds himself on a one way trip to Guantanamo..
December 15th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Dudes!? We need Alex to take up a collection of money for the shoe thrower, I am a flat broke American but know I would spare a 20 for this guy! I bet there a lot of others who would also!
If the total gets big enough it would surely make a statement!
December 15th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Alright Larry, I’ll make you a bet. If anyone on this board gets sent to Gitmo and tortured I will give you everything I own. Oh wait, on January 20th I will win http://www.independent.co.uk/n.....21731.html
Guys, you really need to git a grip. Oppose stuff that will make our country worse, but also work to make it actually better. Whining about 911 and talking about how we’re going to be under martial law soon won’t get you anywhere. Face it nothing you have said has turned out to be true.
I wonder after this sites ranting about how global warming isn’t real, but Bush a genocidal maniac. When island countries in the South Pacific start going underwater, will we call you genocidal maniacs for not trying to stop that?
December 15th, 2008 at 11:19 am
VOILAA….!…. He found the WMD…..!

To the man who showed complete bravery: Mass A, Mass A shot next time. Let him stand as an example of someone who had enough balls to stand up for the innocent people. Power to the people of the world. They have no authority but fear. Fear them not for the consequences will truely be horrific. Fight for your freedom.
