gini ni ceritanya..
President George W. Bush ducked two shoes thrown at him by an unidentified man during a press conference in the Iraqi prime minister’s office. Bush wasn’t hit by the shoes, one of which sailed over his head. The president shrugged and said “I’m OK” after the incident in Baghdad today. “All I can report is it is a size 10,” Bush said. In Arab culture, throwing shoes is a grave show of disrespect. The man shouted an Arabic phrase, which an Iraqi present said translated as “this is a farewell kiss, dog.” After U.S. troops pulled down a statue of former dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraqi bystanders tossed shoes at it, according to news reports at the time. The man threw the shoes from about 25 feet away as Bush, with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, made formal remarks before the signing of an Iraqi-U.S. security agreement. Bush arrived today in Baghdad on a surprise visit. The shoe-thrower, who was in a group of journalists, was wrestled to the ground and taken away. “It doesn’t bother me,” Bush told reporters. “So what if he threw a shoe at me.” The president said it showed free speech in a democracy. Ah, yes, free speech. Bush conveniently chose to ignore what happened right after the man threw the farewell-kiss shoes: he was “heard screaming in the hallway.” Of course, Bush conveniently choosing to ignore facts is pretty much what has defined his presidency.
In ABC News‘ version of events makes Bush’s free speech comment look even more foolish and dishonest: The man was grabbed and dragged out screaming. after order had been restored to the room, the man could still be heard screaming from another room. ABC News also reports: As security grabbed the man, White House press secretary Dana Perino got knocked beneath her eye by a microphone. Bush, as we all know, is on the frontlines of the war in Iraq every day. Sooner or later, someone in his entourage was bound to get injured in the line of duty.
