Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoes At Bush

"Security officials pounced on an Iraqi journalist after he threw a pair of shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad on Sunday.

Bush was nearly hit on the head, but ducked out of the way as the man tossed one of the shoes, then another, while the president stood beside Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

The journalist called Bush a dog before being hustled away."
