This picture is not doctored. Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic,
much less have a clue about English.

So, how do a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with
their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans"(etc.) slogans
printed in English?

Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and
write their statements into English. Unfortunately, in this case, they
were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the
job was a retired US Army sergeant!

Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way through the
Arab TV networks, but the results were "Priceless."

Nevermind. It's funny the way it is.

I've seen this before as an email forward, and always assumed it was a photoshop job. (I also always got a laugh from it anyway.)

Still not convinced, but all the better if it's real.

Either way, it was good for a laugh.
