Bush's benevolence

In Iraq today, an Iraqi news reporter threw both of his shoes at President Bush, who was attending a press conference with President al-Maliki. Fortunately, both shoes missed Bush, who later joked that the shoes had been a size 10.

Here's the video:

I find it ironic that the purpose for President Bush's surprise visit to Baghdad was to bid farewell to the almost thirty million Iraqis for whom his nation sacrificed so mightily to liberate. The man just can't get no love, can he?

Does anyone doubt that were Saddam still in power, this "journalist" would have been tortured and executed by now?
