President George W Bush's farewell visit to Iraq is marred by an incident in which two shoes are thrown at him during a news conference by Muntazer al-Zaidi, an Iraqi TV journalist, who also cried at Mr Bush "This is a goodbye kiss, you dog".
Showing the soles of shoes to someone is a sign of contempt in Arab culture.
