His aim was excellent. Sadly Bush had faster reflexes than I might have expected, and he managed to duck. :)
Though on balance, it's probably as well for the Iraqi journalist that he didn't actually injure Bush or things could have got quite nasty. As it is, he's made his point, will presumably be charged with some minor offence and I hope that is an end to it.
And given how Arabs get freaked by shoes, I think that image of Bush with the shoe hovering over his head is at least as powerful as a direct hit would have been.
