BAGHDAD — His legacy forever linked to an unpopular war, President George W. Bush visited Iraq under intense security Sunday and declared that the long, hard conflict is necessary to protect the United States and give Iraqis hope. "The war is not over," he said.
Bush got a size-10 reminder of the fervent opposition to his policies when a man threw two shoes at him _ one after another _ during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.
Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground after the 2003 invasion.
"All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."
“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,†Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’
I have to admit, he was quick with dodging it. He must be used to shoes being thrown at him.

Have you noticed how Bush's jokes are crap, but his serious speeches are hilarious? "It isn't pollution that's harrming the envoronment - it's the impurities in the air and water." That one was gold.

I think that it's been done at this point. We are all ready to move on.
Now we're between two black periods of American history, you mean?

Yeah, and "it isn't the oil that ruins our economy, is that thing that we put on our cars".
Is this your new way of insulting and humiliating people? To apologize immediately afterwards and expect that to exonerate you? Well, whatever lets you keep doing it.
Bush narrowly escapes an assassination attempt.
