When President George W. Bush visited Iraq this weekend he got a suprise from protester. He got a size 10 shoe thrown at him by an angry protester.

The protester yelled,"This is your farewell kiss, you dog!" in arabic. The person was Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

The shoes did not hit Bush. He had duked at the perfect time. The shoes past him and hit the wall behind him.

The U.S. president visited the Iraqi capital just 37 days before he hands the war off to his successor, Barack Obama, who has pledged to end it. The president wanted to highlight a drop in violence and to celebrate a recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011.
