    Update: Looks like this particular POS isn't the one who did the evil deed to our fine President but I'm sure our Forces are out there looking to get him!

    Wasn't the same dickhead... Just another random shoe-tossing dickhead...

    An Iraqi man who witnesses said shouted abuse before throwing a shoe at a US army vehicle was shot dead on Wednesday in what the American military said was a suspected grenade attack.

    Residents told an AFP reporter in Fallujah that Ahmed Latif, 32, whom they said was mentally disturbed, insulted the soldiers as they patrolled in the centre of the city, and then hurled a shoe at them.


    The US military told AFP that a convoy in Fallujah had been attacked with a suspected grenade.


    "Positive identification of the attacker was made, and US forces fired in self-defence wounding the attacker," the army said in a statement.


    "Local Iraqi police secured the scene and transported the wounded attacker to a local hospital for medical care," it added.


    Dr Ali Hatam of Fallujah hospital confirmed that Latif died of gunshot wounds.


    The incident came a day after Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi was freed after spending nine months in jail for throwing his shoes at former US president George W. Bush during a visit to Baghdad.
    Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    I think it's sweet that US forces still care enough to off these fanatical shoe terrorists.

    So the mentally disturbed man had time to insult the Americans, and throw a shoe at them and the Americans confused the shoe with a hand grenade, maybe they need a bit more training?

    The usual press statement from the US army.

    I'm cheering for the Iraqis.

    And if Iraqi soldiers were patrolling the streets of Cleveland, would it be OK to shoot them for throwing a shoe?

    Americans get what they deserve in Iraq. You know it's only a matter of time before they go home with their tails between their legs.

    Its funny how they state they only wounded him, then a few lines down he dies, is it to make it sound sort of soft and fuzzy and warm, rather than just stating they murdered him with multiple gun shots.

    Geez, My own military/goverment are a total bunch of asshole bozo's concerning USA relations outside of U.S. borders. I have to agree with you guy's. They impress me as be a bunch of idiots. Hey, we're not all like that.I'm really sorry about what happened to the guy. That is really a crying shame.

    Throwing objects at heavily armed men is probably not a good idea. Obviously he's retarded.

    When the nazis occupied most of Europe, shoe throwing protests were met with instant death. There seems to me very little difference in bahaviour between the occupying american soldiers executing protesters and the nazis

    Fek, the terrorists get women and children to blow themselves up around innocent folks and also get them to plant IEDs to kill US and NATO troops. But, the bladdy libbies cry every time these soldiers take aim. Grow up and figure out what's really going on.

    Fucking shoe will hold a lot of C-4, and a shoe is as good a container as anything else,
    member some asshole had some in his shoe with his foot and was going to blow a plane load of folks out of the sky..
    Seems none of you brain dead assholes seem to remember what bombs look like, not all bomb/grenades look like a green thing about the size of a hard ball, nor a small pineapple looking thing, nor does it have to look like a potato masher, it can ;look like a beer can, a shoe or a shoe box for that matter.
    What a bunch of super intelligent assholes.
    And when they hauled that asshole off, he was just a wounded greaseball that smelled like he needed a bath, he was dead at the hospital so who says the soldiers killed him, ya know that one bomb by another Iraqi killed 100 people the other day and wounded 300, and the bomb looked like a car.
