BAGHDAD (AP) - A man threw his shoes at President George W. Bush and was dragged away by security officials during the president's farewell trip to Iraq.

The incident occurred as Bush was appearing Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Bush ducked and wasn't hit by either shoe. Bush joked, saying that all he can report was that it was a size 10 shoe. then calmly took questions.

Exactly. They explained it in TV as they aired the video. Throwing a shoe at someone in middle east is comparable with spitting in someones face. It's more or less the most insulting thing you can do to someone else.
Anyway, it was pretty funny and Bush has surprisingly good reflexes. ;)
