Iraqi reporter throws shoes at Bush and calls him dog

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi reporter called visiting U.S. President George W. Bush a "dog" in Arabic on Sunday and threw his shoes at him during a news conference in Baghdad.

Iraqi security officers and U.S. secret service agents leapt at the man and dragged him struggling and screaming out of the room where Bush was giving a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The shoes missed their target about 15 feet (4.5 metres) away. One sailed over Bush's head as he stood next to Maliki and smacked into the wall behind him. Bush smiled uncomfortably and Maliki looked strained.

4. You know dogs are, for some reason, bad. They bring a curse or something..

That's why the guards using dogs at the prison was more horrifying to the prisoners..

5. In Arab culture, dogs are regarded as filthy animals.

As a rural dog owner, I understand their point.
