Too bad you haven't been paying attention to anything about their culture. To strike someone with the sole of your shoe is the ultimate insult in their culture. It wasn't just throwing 'something' it was one of their cultures highest insults.

He was just trying to be nice. He knew Bush will soon be out of a job and will be short on cash so he was just offering him his shoes and the company of his dog.
The shoes missed their target about 15 feet (4.5 metres) away. One sailed over Bush's head as he stood next to Maliki and smacked into the wall behind him. Bush smiled uncomfortably and Maliki looked strained.
more like a few inches, and it would have smacked him right in the face had he not ducked. Must have been the Bush spin machine that stated it was 15 feet.
