Al-Zaidi : "This is your farewell kiss, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

SHOCKING NEWS!

Iraqi journalist Muntadher al-Zaidi has been sentenced to three years in prison for throwing his shoes at war criminal bush during a press conference in Baghdad.

If there was any ‘Justice’ it is bush who should be behind bars and who should be put on trial for committing genocide on the Iraqi people.

The brave Muntadher al-Zaidi should be freed immediately!

Shame on the judge who has passed this sentence!

Muntadher al-Zaidi should be congratulated for expressing his contempt at US terrorist and war criminal bush, the evil butcher of over one million Iraqis.

Trial delayed for Muntadher al-Zaidi

Trial Delayed for Shoe-Throwing Iraqi Journalist

In Iraq, the trial of the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush has been delayed until next month. Muntadhar al-Zaidi will stand trial in March on charges of assaulting a foreign leader. He faces fifteen years in prison.

Zaidi’s attorney and family have alleged abusive treatment since his imprisonment.

On Wednesday, Zaidi was applauded as he entered the courtroom.
