UK Military Claims Pictures are a Fraud.
So what else is new? Do you think the "helpless" Muslims who have learned to fly planes into building and engineer WMD's can't fake photographs? Heck, even I can fake photographs! If I could make weapons of mass destruction, I'd be considered a threat. The funny thing, but also not surprising, is that CNN and the other media are trying to cast doubt, not on the photos, but on claims of their phoniness. And why not? These are the same people who tried to convince us that Saddam Hussein's alleged "atrocities" were the invention of President Bush to "hoodwink" the US into going to war. The British soldiers fighting in Iraq have been documented putting their lives on the line to protect innocent Iraqi civilians from murderous thugs hired by Saddam Hussein. Many times during the war itself, Iraqi Republican Guards dressed up as US or British soldiers and then shot Iraqis attempting to surrender. Do you think they would have trouble beating and urinating on an Iraqi for the camera while dressed in British gear and using scenery from another day? What is it about the media, indeed about Europe, that will cause them to call everything evil except...evil?
