Bush in Baghdad on December 14, 2008, stands atop a white pedestal in Tikrit, the hometown of executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, during an unveiling ceremony on January 27, 2009. The huge shoe sculpture, standing three metres high (about 10 feet), created by Iraqi artist Laith al-Ameri, was dismantled two days after it's unveiling, an official said on January 31, 2009.
