I hope that is photoshopped. I really hope one of our troops did not do that.

RE #6-

Unfortunately, I think it's real.

Hopefully a CO or NCO made them repaint it.

Goathead,

It's destruction of Govt property for starters. And 2nd, it presents a negative image towards the US military. For commanders and Senior NCOs to allow something like this would demonstrate a form of acceptance or support by the DoD in presenting such an image or statement.

"Iraqi Photos" implies all Iraqi citizens. The unfortunate side of something like this is how it can turn on the military and present a very negative image. This is the type of propaganda that the insurgents would love to spread, and to see us spreading it in celebration or approval only further enables them to spread the message that we are there not for the advancement of their country, but for further destroying their culture and way of life.

It's a lose/lose situation either way. Not trying to stand on a soapbox, but acts like this make all of us look bad.

Just my $.02

no apostrophe in "photo's" either.

I agree with the dissenting opinions above; but I really doubt (if this is even real) that the message is meant for citizens.........then again, we are currently at war with "citizens", not military; so who can tell.

If I were over there, I think I'd rather have people fear me than respect my sense of courtesy.

Looks like it might have been done with electrical tape (or some kind of black tape).

Maybe it was removed right after taking the pic?

I'd like to think so, anyway.

^Yeah, and we were doing so well after invading the country on bull**** grounds, leading to the death of thousands and displacement of millions. Now this bad PR stands to besmirch an entire nation.

RE #6 Goat

Why? It is juvenile, irresponsible, unprofessional, and IMO unbecoming of the American men and women who are serving in Iraq.

My problem with it is that it doesn't say "terrorists" or "al queda", it says IRAQIS. What kind of message does that send to a people we are supposed to be "liberating"?

#15. It was just a question to your comment because you did not elaborate on it. I could not agree more with what you say.
