Source text - English Iraqi Police Detain Local Reporter Who Threw Shoes at Bush during Farewell Baghdad Visit.
An Iraqi television news reporter threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush and called him a “dog” in Arabic, during a press conference in Baghdad on Sunday, which means a sign of profound disrespect in Arab cultures. Within seconds of the incident Iraqi security officers and U.S. secret service agents leapt at the man anddragged him struggling and screaming out of the room where Bush was giving a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
Since then, Muntadar al-Zeidi has been held at the headquarters of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. The Shiite journalist has been interrogated over whether anybody paid him to throw his shoes at Bush and tested for alcohol and drugs, said Iraqi official.
The shoes missed their target about 15 feet 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. “It doesn’t bother me,” Bush said, urging everyone to calm down as a ruckus broke out into the conference room. When asked about the incident shortly after, Bush made light of it. “I didn’t feel the least threatened by it,” he said, adding: “Whoever it interests –it was a size ten that he threw at me.”
Bush on Sunday made a farewell visit to Iraq, a place the defines his presidency, just 37 days before he hands the war off to his successor who has pledged to end it. Certainly, Bush’s last trip to the war zone wasn’t the best way to bring to a close his term of office.

Translation - Spanish Policía iraquí detiene a reportero local que tira zapatos a Bush durante visita de despedida en Bagdad.
Un reportero de la televisión de Irak lanzó sus zapatos al presidente de los Estados Unidos, George W. Bush, y lo llamó “perro” en idioma arábigo, durante una conferencia de prensa en Bagdad este domingo; lo que significa una gran ofensa en las culturas árabes. Segundos después del incidente, los agentes de seguridad iraquíes y los del servicio secreto de los Estados Unidos se abalanzaron sobre el hombre y lo arrastraron, mientras forcejeaba y gritaba, hacia fuera de la sala, en donde Bush daba una conferencia junto al primer ministro de Iraq Nuri al-Maliki.
Muntazer al-Zeidi, desde entonces, ha estado retenido en la oficinas centrales del mencionado primer ministro. Se ha interrogado al periodista chiita para conocer si alguien pagó para que arrogara sus zapatos al Jefe de Gobierno de los Estados Unidos y se ha puesto bajo prueba para descubrir si consumió alcohol o drogas, declaró un funcionario iraquí.
Los zapatos no dieron en el blanco por aproximadamente 4,5 metros. Uno de ellos voló por encima de la cabeza de Bush mientras este se encontraba al lado de Maliki y golpeó la pared a espaldas del Presidente estadounidense. Bush sonrió incómodo y Maliki se notaba tenso. “No me molesta”, dijo el Jefe de Estado del país norteño al pedirles a todos que se calmaran cuando comenzó el disturbio en la sala de conferencias. Cuando se le preguntó acerca del incidente poco después, Bush le restó importancia. “No me sentí amenazado para nada, a quien le interese, los zapatos que me tiraron son el número 44”, expresó.
El domingo el Presidente de los Estados Unidos realizó una visita de despedida en Irak, lugar que define su presidencia, a solo 37 días del traspaso de la guerra a su sucesor, quien ha prometido terminarla. Está claro que el último viaje de dicho mandatario a la zona de guerra no fue la mejor manera de finalizar su gobierno.
