A surprise visit by US President George Bush to Iraq has been overshadowed by an incident in which two shoes were thrown at him during a news conference.

An Iraqi journalist was wrestled to the floor by security guards after he called Mr Bush "a dog" and threw his footwear, just missing the president.

The soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture.

During the trip, Mr Bush and Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki signed the new security agreement between their countries.

The pact calls for US troops to leave Iraq in 2011 - eight years after the 2003 invasion that has in part defined the Bush presidency.

Speaking just over five weeks before he hands over power to Barack Obama, Mr Bush also said the war in Iraq was not over and more work remained to be done.

His previously unannounced visit came a day after US Defence Secretary Robert Gates told US troops the Iraq mission was in its "endgame".

    this guy would never have the balls to throw shoes at sadaam. Even if sadaam or his sons had killed his motehr,..he wouldnt say S**t i don't like bush but i will not applaud a wimp who throw shoes. that reporter has the freedom to throw shoes because of american soldiers laid down their life. he would never had the balls to do it in sadam's regime even if his whole family was wiped out. So you sit behind ur computer and think about it.
