Al-Zeidi järjestö (vertaa al-skeidaan). Naftanttihan on heittänyt paskaa vuosia Bushin niskaan, mutta konkretiaa tarvitaan ja tässä sitä tuli.
Iraqi officials interrogate Bush shoe protest manThousands demand release of TV journalist as footage dominates presidential swansong tourEd Pilkington and Matthew Weaver guardian.co.uk, Monday 15 December 2008 12.17 GMT Article history
George Bush ducks a shoe Link to this video An Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes, and insults, at George Bush during the US president's surprise visit to Iraq is being questioned over whether anybody paid him for the protest as footage of the incident plays continually on the internet and rolling news channels.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in Iraq to demand the release of Muntadar al-Zeidi, who is being held at the headquarters of the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
Al-Zeidi, who shouted "dog" at Bush as he threw his footwear at him, is being interrogated over whether he acted alone. He is also being tested for alcohol and drugs, according to an Iraqi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. His shoes were being held as evidence, the official added.
Al-Zeidi's colleagues said the journalist was kidnapped last year by Shia militias and released after his employers, the TV station al-Baghdadia, intervened.
The Bush trip, which saw him visit Afghanistan today, was conducted amid deep secrecy. It was intended to round off on a high note the policy that has most defined his presidency, but it is being overshadowed by what happened at the press conference Bush held yesterday with al-Maliki.
At the press conference, Bush said the Iraq conflict had been necessary, adding: "The war is not over."
Al-Zeidi then shouted: "This is the end!" before hurling his shoes, one at a time, at the US leader from a distance of about 12ft.
Bush ducked as the first shoe flew close above his head, hitting the wall behind him. He ducked again to avoid the second shoe, as Iraqi security men pounced on al-Zeidi and dragged him screaming out of the room.
The US president appeared untroubled by the incident, and later quipped: "All I can report is, it is a size 10." But the disruption was clearly unwelcome on his fourth and final visit to Iraq. It was also pregnant with symbolism. In the Arab world, throwing shoes at somebody is considered a serious insult, as is even showing them the soles of one's footwear, as jubilant Iraqis demonstrated when the statue of Saddam Hussein was toppled in Baghdad during the 2003 invasion.
Bush travelled to Afghanistan today, he spoke to US soldiers and marines at a hangar on the tarmac at Bagram airbase. But the president's message on progress in the region was having trouble competing with the footage of the shoe attack.
As reporters gathered for another Bush press conference, at Hamid Karzai's presidential palace in Afghanistan's capital, some of the journalists jokingly egged on colleagues to again hurl shoes at the president. They did not.
Speaking before the shoe incident, Bush said of the five and a half-year occupation: "The work hasn't been easy, but it has been necessary for American security, Iraqi hope and world peace ... I'm just so grateful I had the chance to come back to Iraq before my presidency ends."
Bush ei itsekään tajua, mikä jujun juoni on. Naftantti heittää paskaa koko ajan näitten paskiaisten päälle ja se on nyt tuottanut tuloksen.
AL-ZEIDI järjestö on perustettu. Kaikkille politikoille vast'edes tulee olemaan vaikeaa puhua mitä lystää, ettei joku Al-Zeidi järjestöläinen viskaa yleisön joukosta monon päähän. Lopettavat kohta paskan jauhannan.
