U.S. President George W. Bush twice nearly got hit in the face with an Iraqi TV reporter's shoes at the start of a press availability during his recent trip to Baghdad.  Size 10 video of the year, FTW. 

Al-Jazeera puts the incident into greater context than U.S. media sources, of course.  It's an Arab perspective looking more at the entirity of Bush's Iraq War compared to simply saying that "the surge is one the greatest successes in the history of the United States military," as Bush told the audience of troops serving in Baghdad.

The International Herald Tribune reports that the 28-year-old Iraqi TV reporter, Muntadhar al-Zeidi, had once been kidnapped by al Qaeda Iraq (AQI) and also detained by U.S. forces in the last several years.  Apparently, he has no love for any of the foreign influences in his country.  In the eyes of many Iraqis, he is a hero for his defiant act. 

I hope al-Zeidi survives the consequences of his outburst. 

If the surge is such a success, why then have the U.S. and Iraqi governments just signed a 3-year extension to the military occupation?
