At least one of the photographs released today by Iran and published by an unquestioning Western media is a Photoshop fake:

A reader emailed to let me know that a site named MilitaryPhotos.net actually noticed the modified photo a little earlier: Todays Pics! Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 - Page 4 - Military Photos.

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH US!
HOWEVER! A VERY REAL DANGER IS ON THE HORIZON. READ THE ARTICLE(S) ON TURKEY BELOW
Meanwhile:
Iraqi Defense Ministry officials told local media on Friday that Israeli warplanes operating out of a US airbase are conducting exercises in their country for a possible strike on neighboring Iran.
According to the sources, the Israeli planes enter Iraq via Jordanian airspace during the night, and then land at a US military base near the Iraqi city of Hadita.
If Israel ultimately decides to launch a aerial strike against Irans main uranium enrichment facility, taking off from Hadita would cut the flight time to the target down to about five minutes.
Israeli media was unable to verify the Iraqi report, but Israeli officials have admitted in recent weeks to conducting military maneuvers in preparation for a possible strike on Iran, including a major air force exercise over Greece last month.
Also, the left end of the right dust cloud has a nearly square end, very unusual. I don't think we've hit the bottom of this.
If the insane Islamofacists in control of Iran, really had the firepower to take out Israel and our military bases in Iraq. They would have done it without talking about it
