Shoe-Throwers Asks Iraqi Prime Minister For A Pardon
Maliki, predictably, says no.
What’s interesting is that while the media/left in America celebrates this guy as a hero he’s apparently regretting he pulled the stunt.
[Maliki spokesman Yassin] Majid confirmed to FOX News that Muntadhar al-Zeidi has asked the Iraqi president [sic] for a pardon, and expressed “regret and sorrow” for his behavior.
“It is too late to now to regret the big and ugly act that I perpetrated,” al-Zeidi wrote, according to Majid…
Majid told FOX News that al-Maliki, who tried to shelter Bush from the incoming shoes with his arm, is inclined to let Iraqi law run its course.
Maliki is right to let the Iraqi courts handle this.
Let’s just hope that whatever judge gets the case handles it appropriately. Like a short prison sentence and maybe a fine.
