What the Shoe Attacker Said to Bush


Quote of the Day

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

Mr Zaidi yelled the words in Arabic while hurling both his shoes at the head of George W. Bush. Iraqis are calling Mr. Zaidi a hero and demanding his release from jail. "Thousands of Iraqis have demanded the release of a local TV reporter who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush at a Baghdad news conference." (via)
