The Unwitting Propagandist

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that this soldier would not approve of his image being used in this rather propagandistic pose, yet somehow, I'm sure that wasn't even remotely considered by the editorial desk at Reuters. They are, after all, too busy breathlessly transmitting the official propaganda of the terrorist thugocracy to care about piddly little things like people's reputations.

Seriously, Reuters, make up your minds—Are you still interested in being a news agency? Or can we finally drop the charade and move your corporate headquarters to Damascus?

Update: Okay, now this is funny. Thanks to blogagog for the laugh!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*That's actually a photoshopped image. I thought Reuters got out of that business. Cut it out, Reuters!

Anyway, I found the original on the web:
