The Iraqi News Agency and the al-Dar newspaper salute the brave Iraqi journalist Muntathar al Zaidi and salute the channel where he works, for his brave attitude that made Iraqi journalists proud.

It was now clear to Bush that the Iraqi people value him as a shoe despite the fact that our colleague threw two shoes at him, not one.

Long live Iraq

Let all the cowards and traitors be forewarned….


Media source and eyewitnesses confirmed that one of the Iraqi journalists threw his shoes at the U.S. President and called him a "dog" after the event of signing the security agreement with Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki in his headquarters.

The al Baghdadia channel journalist, Muntathar al Zaidi, requested to ask the U.S. President a question, and when Bush looked at him, he threw his shoes shouting, "[T]his is the goodbye kiss from Iraqi people, you dog."

Security men in the hall arrested al Zaidi, who was then transferred to an undisclosed place. The al Zaidi act occurred after Bush and al Maliki signed the agreement.

The Iraqi media manager was seen hitting the brave journalist Muntathar al Zaidi. Some journalists said that the first shoe went above Bush’s head, while the other one passed beside him without hitting him.

وافهم المجرم بوش ان تقديره لدى شعب العراق ليس اكثر من حذاء وان كان زميلنا العزيز منتظر رماه بحذائين وليس حذاء واحد








عاش العراق








ولانامت اعين الجبناء والعملاء



أكد مصدر اعلامي وشهود عيان من الصحفيين أن احد الصحفيين العراقيين قام بضرب الرئيس الأمريكي بوش بحذاءيه ونعته بـ"الكلب" أثناء توقيع الأخير على الاتفاقية الأمنية مع رئيس الوزراء نوري المالكي في مقر رئاسة الوزراء .



وأوضح أن مراسل قناة البغدادية الفضائية منتظر الزيدي طلب توجيه سؤال الى الرئيس الأمريكي بوش وعندما التفت إليه بوش رماه بحذائه وصرخ به يا كلب هذه قبلة الوداع من العراقيين



وأضاف أن عناصر الأمن الموجودين في قاعة الاحتفال اعتقلوا الزيدي ونقلوه إلى جهة مجهولة مبينا أن ما قام به الزيدي جاء بعد إبرام الاتفاقية بين المالكي وبوش



وشوهد مسؤول الاعلام في الحكومة يقوم بنفسه بضرب الصحفي الشهم منتظر الزيدي



وروى عدد من الصحفيين أن حذاءي المراسل تطاير احدهما فوق رأس بوش بينما مر الحذاء الثاني بجانبه من دون أن يصيبه.
