Shoes thrown at President Bush

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

A journalist caused a huge shock in Iraq when he threw both of his shoes at American President George Bush.

President Bush was making a surprise visit to Iraq and Afghanistan. He managed to avoid being hit by either shoe.

The sole of someone's shoe is a really big insult in Arab countries.
