LA Times Publishes Iran Propaganda Claim, Ignores Fauxtography (MSM busted AGAIN)

The Los Angeles Times gives credence to Iran’s bogus claim that the US is behind two recent attacks in Iran: Iran alleges U.S. link to militant attack.

TEHRAN — Bullet cartridges bearing a U.S. insignia and English lettering were among the weaponry seized last week from Sunni militants suspected of killing 11 members of Shiite-dominated Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, Iranian officials said Sunday.

A photo of the cartridge box, along with an array of other ammunition, was published by Iranian newspapers and news agencies.

Iran did not provide access to the weapons and explosives, drawing skepticism from analysts, and there was no way of evaluating the claims independently. But Tehran is clearly worried that the U.S. is quietly helping Iranian opposition groups foment instability, even while the Bush administration is confronting Iran over its nuclear program and accusing it of arming Shiite militants in Iraq.

The Iranian allegations came a week after U.S. officials laid out what they said was evidence of Iranian-made weapons in Iraq. That evidence also was inconclusive, and Iran denied supplying arms to Iraqi combatants.

They Photoshop OUT the AK-47, and Photoshop IN the 7.62x39 ammo an AK-47 shoots?

U.S. soldiers shoot the 7.62x51 round, our guns don't fire that ammo.

If these Iranians are this dumb, we don't have anything to worry about.

They must have photoshopped out the AK because We don't make AK's in the US.

Kind of weird how the folding stock to the AK was left in the photo. Worst photoshop evar.

Not with that cheap ass folding stock like that, we don't.

If someone in the US made that, I would be embarrassed for them.

What dead bodies did the Iranians take these from--those in Iraq and brought them to Iran? al Sadr hightailed it across to Iran and then the bombings started. Did al Sadr bring these with him?

As long as the U.S. is going to be accused of arming insurgents in Iran -- why not actually do it?
