Still More Pro-Terrorist MSM Fauxtography
It looks like AP might be trying to pull ahead of al-Reuters in the game of winning a place in Allah's heart by using phony photos to propagandize against the targets of jihad. Below is some Lebanese ruin caused by those incorrigible Israelis.

It's the same car, but Reuters didn't think to balance a wall-hanging inscribed with Koranic verses on the door. It's that extra spark of creativity that makes AP's Islamic propaganda so invigorating. Of course, they probably had some help from their Hezbollah friends.

Its clearly the same scene from 2 different angles (you can see the debris below the car in both photos)
The odd thing is the cars look to have been placed there. The buildings directly behind cars appear relatively undamaged. There is no crater near the cars. How did the rubble and overturned cars get there? It does appear staged. It looks like someone took a bulldozen and pushed the debris and cars up against the building. The guy with the bullhorn in the 2nd photo indicates this might have been a staged photo op.

First of all, it's not a phony photo just because someone snuck in a sign of anti-Israeli propoganda onto the car. I don't think defenders of the Bush administration should be casting stones when the topic of staged photos is being discussed.
And Jack - the bullhorn suggests this was somehow staged? Kinda reminds me of your boy standing on the rubble at ground zero with his little bullhorn . . .hmmmm

You obviously selectively read what I posted. Its not simply a matter of the bullhorn.
Look at the cars, they are crushed and upside down. They were clearly brought from somewhere else dumped onto some else for use as a stage. Look at the store fronts/buildings behind it - no visible damage at all. If a bomb had hit that location and done that to those 2 cars, the buildings would be gone or at least heavily damaged.
And I said nothing about the sign.
Reminds you of 9-11? Thats a real joke. The only mistake Israel made was avoiding civilian casualties and letting Hezbollah survive. Another example of politicians running a war and letting the terrorists get away.
Its only a matter of time before something 10 times worse than 9-11 happens - probably provoked by that nutjob in Iran who think the 12th Prophet will come after Israel nukes Iran.
Bushs only mistake so far is not taking the gloves off and wiping out the enemy once and for all. After all they wont rest until the entire planet is under Islamic rule even if it takes them 1000 years to do it.
I only wish people like you had been on one of those 9-11 planes. You would have had a moment of clarity as the plane slammed into the WTC.
