The above photo and caption from Agence France-Presse were captured from the Yahoo News site, which runs the raw AFP wire. They were picked up apparently by only two media outlets in the world: the Straits Times (Singapore), which ran the caption but not the picture, and the Globe and Mail (Toronto), which rotated it completely off its Website after several hours.

What a load of crap, they are still getting shot at, you think they are worried about people making fun of them? The sad part is there are those who will believe such nonsense.

After all, if Fox News never said anything about it, it never happened.

I have no doubt in my mind that **if** these actions/pictures are true and still on-going throughout Iraq that you will see a large and united revolt against U.S. forces there. Of which will lead to the deaths of many American men and women as well as Iraq citzens. People do not like to be constantly humiliated and treated like second class citizens by a foreign army occupying their own country against there will. It's just a fact of life that you can't treat people like childern when you are in their own house.
