Gratuitous Sarah Palin bikini post…

UPDATE Don’t be fooled by this bad Photoshop forgery that’s making the rounds. Whoever did it must either have also worked on the fauxtography for the Chinese Olympic fireworks or Iran’s recent missile tests….

…and off of Drudge:

”
IRAN MISSILE TEST BLUFF: OLD ROCKETS, BOGUS VIDEO
Fri Jul 11 2008 15:18:02 ET

Many of Iran’s claims related to missile tests during “Great Prophet III” war games — appear to be smoke and mirrors!

The missiles tested DID NOT not have 2,000-kilometer range, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Saturday.

Iran DID NOT launch a Shahab-3 missile, able to reach Israel.

It was an older missile that was out of production, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

And a video showing what appeared to be many missiles being fired — is actually one missile, filmed from different angles!

NYT’s Bill Broad is planning to quote military insiders.

Well I am way late on commenting on this but as I suspected most of the entire “flexing” stunt by Iran is fake.

Old footage, faked photos and reports of low threat indication from the US Navy (grapevine talk only) and we have what appears to be our current situation.

Reminds me of what Mark Steyn said on Hewitt yesterday. The MSM no longer does new investigations, they pick it up like it is from the store and pop it in the microwave.

He was referring to their refusal to cover good news from Iraq, but the sloth is apparent.

BTW, I think Hewitt said Steyn was guest hosting Limbaugh’s show today. I’ll have to see if I can stream KTRH 740 AM here at the office.

I just wish the Iranians would shut up. They don’t have the required level of civilization yet to manipulate photographs properly, let alone do anything else.

Tomorrow: Malkin endorses Obama.

Is that because she’s really black?

I always suspected the Iranians of being incapable of anything more than sword rattling, and now we have proof. The real enemy is North Korea.

The real enemy is truth to most politicians. Especially when it comes to the subject of oil supply…

But you know, it’s a funny old world… yesterday we had Michelle going green and saying we should reduce our dependence on the gas pump…. and today proof that the threat in Iran is overblown, fake and just a bunch of sword rattling.

Tomorrow: Malkin endorses Obama.

The NYT’. Stupid, foolish, and arrogant. And if we don’t have the story, we will steal it. I hope their stock price goes down.;)

Bush has attacked Iraq while allowing Iran to become stronger.

Doing a funny little parade, providing weapons for others and shooting off at the mouth doesnt make Iran stronger.
Right now they’re playing with matches and are sure to get burned.
