Iraqi Shoe-Chucker Al-Zeidi Sentenced to 3 Years In Prison

It’s not so funny now, huh?
Shoe-Chuker Al-Zeidi gets three years for assaulting Bush.

Muntadhar al-Zeidi detested the US and planned the attack on President Bush for months.

The Iranian regime supporting Sadrist Muntadhar al-Zeidi was sentenced to 3 years in prison today.
The AP reported:

The Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at then-President George W. Bush was convicted Thursday of assaulting a foreign leader and sentenced to three years in prison, lawyers said. He shouted “long live Iraq” when the sentence was read.

The verdict came after a short trial in which Muntadhar al-Zeidi, 30, pleaded not guilty to the charge and said his action was a “natural response to the occupation.”

Some of his relatives collapsed after the verdict and had to be helped out of court. Others were forcibly removed by security forces when they became unruly, shouting “Down with Bush” and “Long live Iraq.”
