Check out these two pics. Hard to tell if they're the same kid. Any more pics of them/her?

I don't think it's the kids.   It's an Arab they named
"Mr. Green Helmet" that has shown up all over Lebanon
carrying dead children out of rubble.   Ironically,
he's on different news wires at almost the same time.
Some bodies appear to have been dead for days.
Something definitely staged, and stinky from the press.

Thank you...
The photographer is Arab and supposedly has connections
with Hezbullah. He's probably through with Reuters and
will now have a great carrer with Al Jezzera.   /Sarc

I'm thinking it is the same kid because she's wearing a pink shirt and gray cammo pants, which is an unusual combination, although I can't be 100%.

I think the bloodstained looking area is just a pattern.

Yep, I think you're right.

Why would the fact that CNN, AP and Reuters and the rest would doctor photos to promote Hezbollah propaganda be of any surprise? There is an unquestioned alliance between the Left and the Islamic terrorists, and in that both share loathing of Israel and of America, doctored photos as a propaganda method to portray Israel (and the U.S.) as baby killers is only to be expected.

In a recent study by terrorism analyst Robert Pape, from an investigation of 462 suicide bombings around the globe, in the analysis of 41 Hezbollah bombers there were 38 positively identified: only 8 were Islamist fundamentalists – the others were all from Leftist political groups, specifically 27 which were from the Lebanese Communist Party, with the others members of the Arab Socialist Union and a few tag alongs. Of course, Mr. Pape of the University of Chicago is himself an apologist for Islamic terrorists, every University in effect under the freedom-stifling despotism of the Left. But statistics of his study correlate with numerous other statistics that show, clearly, the alliance between the Left (which history of World War Three will prove includes liberals and the liberal media itself) and the Islamic terrorists and the war upon the West and freedom in general.

I don't want to sound insensitive, but the green helmit guy is holding the baby up like he is mugging for the camera after he caught a 5 pound bass. In real time, that baby would have been taken as rapidly as possible to a medical person to see if ther could be and revival of the child. This guy is there for a photoop.

Wow, I know there is what David Horowitz calls the "unholy alliance" between many leftists and jihadists, but I am surprised that so many leftists would be willing to blow themselves up (unless they also had an Islamist background)..... so do commies think they're getting 72 virgins after death, or why would fruitcake radicals be willing to be suicide/homicide bombers for Hezbollah?

Another interesting thing is that the right arm in the 1st pic is laying across her chest. Her arm is in a different position in the 2nd photo, so rigor mortis hasn't set in yet. What's holding up that arm? Not her if she's dead. Shouldn't the arm be hanging limply? Look at the guy holding her: he's holding her under the knees and her back where her shoulder blades are.

I'm thinking it's the same one too, but I want more proof.

Now that the photo falsity is out, I would bet that in
a few days, professionals will bring out more.
Clearly, Reuters has egg on their face ala CBS.

No less fantasy than Spielbergs "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It is either reflecting reality or fantasy. Looks like Reuters is in the fantasia buisness.

Because right now, the fruit-cake leftists CAN blow themselves up to kill "Capitalist" Jews - and when there same starts happening here, you will find without question it was the Left who helped them blow up Disneyland.

The propaganda war of the Left and the Islamists is a preview, actually in action, of what they are going to do and are doing to us. When Iran starts arming their 60 nuke sites and start giving Hezbollah WMD's (they would give Hesbollah missiles that could reach us if they could), we will have to hit Iran, but the bunker will be under a school ... CNN will have all the Iranian provided propaganda photos to run the story how Americans are baby killers, 200 Iranian children blown to bits by the evil Americans. Doctored photos will show baby parts, and such.

After 911, back when the "white powder" episodes were news (anthrax et all including fakery), there is no doubt that there were leftists involved in part. India is going to get the same treatment, the suckers in India in the news media there writing their "editorials" against America and Israel, now that Hezbollah has shown they can get away with this type of terrorism, the Islamic kooks will have terrorist groups in Pakistan start shooting missiles into India, and the Pak government will say, "we didn't do it", they will say the Islamic "militia" did it, the terrorists will be running around without uniforms shooting rockets from civilian (sympathetic to terrorists) sites such as schools, and when the Indian military track the incoming with computers and blow up the rocket launchers, there will be 200 Pakistani "civilians" dead and all the "Islamic street", the leftist media et all will call India baby killers just like they call us, and call Israel. This is how the game is going to be played by the left who want not only believes that Israel doesn't have a right to exist, they also believe America doesn't have a right to exist.

So yes, the leftists are also suicide bombers.

Green Helmet swiched her around when he took off his vest. Her shirt was pulled down & her bent right arm arranged in lower photo, so I'm not so sure there's no rigor... Look at her left arm in top pic. Wouldn't it drop at the shoulder? Still would her butt drop down like that if she was in bed sleeping at time of death?
