From the BBC, Shoes thrown at Bush on Iraq trip (click link for video):
A surprise visit by US President George Bush to Iraq has been overshadowed by an incident in which two shoes were thrown at him during a news conference.
...
In the middle of the news conference with Mr Maliki, a reporter stood up and shouted "this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog," before hurtling his shoes at Mr Bush, narrowly missing him.
Around the world, American leaders are now welcomed with open arms and bare feet! Who knew that in Iraq, it was a sign of endearment to play doggy-fetch with your slippers?

wow.
I'm at a loss for words and not because I don't have any, but because there are so many rushing to get out they've kind of clogged the exit.
Are you talking about the exit to this press conference, or Iraq in general???
ha ha ha!!!
