Duck and Cover - flying shoes in Iraq

Talking about bad publicity, President Bush ducked from shoe attacks on him by an Iraqi reporter while Bush visited Iraq for farewell. "This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog," the journalist shouted (in Arabic). After seeing the video on CNN, I couldn't understand what the guy was shouting while he is being attacked by the security, but I was watching the news today, and the reporter was saying while he was throwing his second shoe "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." Today there's a protest all over the middle east to release the reporter, but he is been held by the security and might be charged with an assault. This will go down in history as Bush ducked from shoes attacked in press conference.
