YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn 14 December 2008, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi removed his shoes and threw them at then United States president George W. Bush during a joint press conference with Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad, Iraq.
Bush quickly ducked, avoiding being hit by either shoe. Al-Zaidi was subsequently grabbed, and removed from the room by security. He was later imprisoned and tortured.
During his recent trip to Iraq, Rami Yahia met with al-Zaidi and discussed this famous incident. They also discussed the state of the Iraqi resistance, the Palestinian struggle and the rapid decline in U.S. power in the region of West Asia.
