Apparently Yahoo thinks Canadians are more gullible than Americans.

Well, how many Canadians have ever even seen a bullet? Pretty good assumption, eh?

James,

As you once pointed out, the Media(AP) can be pretty clueless when it comes to simple ordinary facts, should it surprise us they know nothing abouts guns and bullets either?

Cheers,

Bill

Even more odd: while the photo has been removed from the US Yahoo page, it's still on the various foreign Yahoo pages, such as Canada's. Yahoo! Canada News Photo Apparently Yahoo thinks Canadians are more gullible than Americans.

"While yes, everyone in the chain was a dolt, it doesn't really make for a conspiracy"

I'm not saying it was a conspiracy...the photo is an outright fraud.

Wire photos have only a slightly larger "chain of command" than your average blog. Before blogs, wire stuff *was* blogs, with things often republished and re-edited several times a minute. While yes, everyone in the chain was a dolt, it doesn't really make for a conspiracy

"Congratulations! Between this and Scott Beauchamp, you've proven the leftards wrong about everything!" Certainly not everything and every story but surely you'd agree that it's many more than an unbiased editorial board should let "slip" through..no?

Yeah, at first I was afraid Malkin et al. were going to argue that only Iran could be providing shiny new rounds to the terrorists.

If the insurgents have actually been reduced to *throwing* their bullets, then maybe the surge is working after all. Tho I did accidentally detonate a .22 round once, dropping it on a stone floor.

I e-mailed that pic to Confederateyankee yesterday under the title "this one shouldn't take long". It didn't. The photographer along with the entire AFP chain of command must be absolutely stupid and the lady in the pic is a stooge.

Congratulations! Between this and Scott Beauchamp, you've proven the leftards wrong about everything!

These Iraqis are a bunch of ungrateful neer-do-wells.

It is clear that those bullets are Iranian-made providing clear evidence that the government of Iran is engaged in a disinformation campaign against the US.

I highly doubt that the so-called "truck bombs" that ostensibly killed 175 people even existed.
