Was it a hoax or did an Iraqi really name his baby after Bush back in around April 2003?

Whatever happened to the kid since then if he ever really existed?

1. Whats "dumbshit" sound like when its translated?

2. It's true there really is an Iraqi named Numbnuts. n/t

3. Maybe you're thinking of the Americans who named their son Adolf Hitler.

It would be easy to get mixed up on that one.

4. Snopes has nothing on it one way or the other.

5. Thanks for looking.

I remember reading about it at the time and have been wondering what the rest of the story for the kid has been till now, if he really existed. Here's a link, with supposed quotes from the father:

7. He's incoherent, dribbles a lot and cries himself to sleep at night.

And now he's had an Iraqi baby named after him.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

6. He's constantly having shoes thrown at him now. n/t

8. I don't know about the kid, but wasn't his father the one thowing his shoes at Bush

a few years later?

(Just kidding...) but, it wouldn't surprise me to learn it was all propaganda, like the plastic turkey being served to the troops.

9. If it was a hoax, we got DUped

10. Don't think that is truth ))

However, if it still is, he must now be a leader of Iraqi Conservatives ))
