'Size 10'

In the middle of the news conference with Mr Maliki, a reporter stood up and shouted "this is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog," before hurtling his shoes at Mr Bush, narrowly missing him.

June 2006: Meets new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki

Sept 2007: Visits Anbar province - former stronghold of Saddam Hussein




"All I can report is a size 10," Mr Bush said according to the Associated Press news agency.

The shoe thrower was taken away by security guards and the news conference continued.

Correspondents called it a symbolic incident.

Iraqis threw shoes and used them to beat Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad after his overthrow.
