The New York Times will have a report on this tomorrow asserting that even though the soldier is fake the story is accurate.

STOP, y'all! my sides hurt

"If proven a fake, Tuesday's posting would not be the first hoax"

That's hilarious that they still leave open the possibility that the photo is authentic. Even without blowing it up it is obviously a ken doll.

Not again! When will the horror end?!

Abdulla: But how do we cut off this infidels head?

Mohammed: Cut below his eyes!

Abdulla: This infidel has many eyes!

(The saga continues....)

It's like how Al Gore sold his soul to the Communist Chinese, but was brought down when he lied about his dog's arthritis medicine.

It's that old "Oh, for the want of a horseshoe nail..." story. If only our schools taught (honest) history...

On WSB radio news, the newsette was laughing as she told the story.

Just seeing this picture makes it all worth wild...... I am just wondering, where were all these high paid "military advisors" (re: arm-chair generals) the media keeps on retainer? I'm just a Cavalry Officer and I spotted this in 2 seconds... what about these generals and colonels and Harvard/Berkley intellectuals?

Maybe I actually get to see real soldiers in real uniforms and handle real weapons a little bit more than the pundits do... Or maybe it's because I'm not out for the President's blood and to the devil with the facts like the media is.... (yes, I am yet another soldier who supports Bush... go figure, maybe the Left is wrong...again)

Like the question of licks to the center of a Tootsi-Pop, the world may never know...

So many of you have been so witty on this thread that it's impossible to keep up with replies.:)

It is serious though, that the MSM once again ran with a story that could be so easily shot down as a fake. I guess they see what they to see, and then don't even bother to use ordinary guide lines of verification.

Special Agent, Huge G. Rexion stationed behind enemy lines was quickly alerted to the soldiers plight.

He hopped in the rear of a nearby F-18 piloted by John "El Gato" Gordo and quickly flew from Paris to Baghdad to help out in Operation Al-Asshat

Flying low over Baghdad, they thought they saw the Senator from Assachusetts parked on the Tigris River, but the yachtboy was delivering embargoed arms to Genghis Khan.

Rexion reconnotiered with LeBow, from the Netherlands 3rd Mountain Dragoons.

Rexion and LeBow contacted the combined forces assembled to deal with the problem. Their business was killing.....and business this day, would be good.

Fox News reports the rescue of the captured US toy solider, and the elimination of insurgent asshats in the Greater Baghdad Area....

block us from even reading it at my base

I'll bet they grant access to MSM websites. FR is more accurate and right on the money more times than MSM. FR has proven itself time and time again.
