At least one of the photographs released today by Iran and published by an unquestioning Western media has been Photoshopped:
Interesting, the Washington Post (Al-Alam video grab) does not show the white truck, or the thing sticking up in back. Why??
Read this link, and many of the 600 comments that were made by readers.
Some suggested that the right and left missiles were the same, taken at slightly different times or angles and superimposed, leaving only 2 missiles. Others suggested that these were old images that were cobbled together. It was suggested that the truck was a failed launch which was erased (in the Al-Alam video). Wouldn’t we have satellite imagery of the hot spots as the launch took place? Someone else suggested that the fake was made by the AFP (don’t know what that is) and not by the Iranians. This is getting complicated. Finally, a number pointed out that during the Bush campaign, big crowds were added to the photos, among other things. Many agreed that the media has been gullible to both their and our politicians.
Oh my God my insides hurt. Perhaps it was from me running away from that missle :)
Almost pissing myself now, best thread in a year!
Hey we can could at this game. I’ll add a couple of ninjas, Jim Robinson, add a couple of more skies overhead will ya? We’ll animate them all and make a movie, it’ll sell like hotcakes in Pakistan.
I have official now pissed my pants! Add my grinning American mug to the photo next to this splending young man :)
It was worth the money for this thread.
NICE, but G8 still has you by a nosehair...
Damn, looks like an import too! I am also outraged, the looter should know the Iranians always drink Schlitz.
Me too. Still have it. The game rocks. ‘Akkknowledged!’
