Perhaps this was the only way that the reporter could let us see what was really going on.

Perhaps, but I think you give Richard Engel (the reporter) too much credit in specualating that.

Engel was one who, in the early stages of the Iraq War, sent his driver down stairs from Engel's hotel room to gather information, so Engel didn't have to go down stairs. [The enemy were shooting at the hotel area.]

Even if it's not counterfeit, aren't you the least bit curious of what it was (and what the terrorists were doing with it)?

Why would Hezbollah make counterfeit bills? Your Gum't has given them BILLIONS!

How many do you think are laid up in other places? Each and every dollar printed over there is just like the ones printed here. The differeence, is that we pay our people to make them! The value is about the same!

and eye shadow. He is a cutie pie. I bet the hezzies would love to get their hands on him. Maybe they will mistake him for Sheepard Smith.

Things that make you say, "Hmmm."

My only question is, who is supplying Hizbollah with Formica?

I guess Roger Ailes read his emails when he got to the office Monday, because we haven't seen all that much of Shep the past two days. What an embarrassment his performance was to Fox!

Never ascribe to evil intent that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

No, but as McCarthy is credited with noting, "If he were merely incompetent, at least once in a while he would make a mistake that hurts America's enemies......"

The MSM/liberal/socialist/elite ARE America's most bitter enemy.

Probably misprints and/or test sheets which is why they were left. Clearly, they didn't get those sheets from the US Mint. Why would they be copying/printing American $100 bills if not for some nefarious purpose?

Terrorist typso ping!

If you find Hezbollah doing your kitchen remodel, can you get a refund from the general contractor?

Ummmm that is not what the photo shows. Most people in this thread have no clue what they are looking at. This wasn't someone trying to make money.

I guess MSNBC isn't so clueless afterall.

FOX is the only station that doesn't seem to be on the side of the terrorists.

What seem sto be happening much to the Hezzies delight is the media is starting to put a humanitarian spin on it. Sheep got caught up with that and forgot that the Hezzies started this and are holding Lebanon as well as two Israeli soldiers hostage.

Either that or Shep is off playing with his new toy, the spent Katyusha they gave him.

How long till Kofi Annan harshly criticizes the Israeli government for the "apparently deliberate targeting the U.S. Mint in Beirut?!!!"/sarc

Might as well turn to CNN when Shep comes on. Get it straight from the source! Oh yeah that's what I do, when Shep comes on!

We were away visiting our son in another state and only saw very little TV. We did catch Shemp's interview with the father of the captured Israeli soldier.

My son, only recently out of the Army commented that Shemp was trying to put words into the father's mouth and to his credit, the father was no going there.

Shameful of FNC to allow this type of coverage on the air.

Someone on another thread pointed out that it looks like they were copying the serial numbers of a large quantity of bills, which is sometimes done by law enforcement agencies to track cash.

Could be one of our own sting operations to try to learn how terrorist cash is funneled through the organizations, or it could be the bad guys doing it for their own purposes.

No wonder the street protesters were shouting:
"We don't need American money!"

I wonder if Corian comes in a Keffiyeh pattern? That would be the bomb.
