Take a look at this incredible photo.

It shows a jet crashing into a building that looks like the WTC.

Guess what?

The Marines just found this mural in Iraq!

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Does this photo prove a connection between 9/11 and Iraq?

[boing]

It only proves that Iraqis have TV.

[Blackhawk]

No.

[Schuey2002]

nope.

[Destructo6]

Nothing damning about a mural.

However, I read the first chapter or so of a recent book on Saddam that claimed that Iraq went on a defensive alert just a few hours before the first impact on 9/11, indicating prior knowledge.

[agricola]

no

i have a picture of kate beckinsdale in my kitchen

unfortunately that doesnt prove anything either :D

Don't blame you....:cool:

No more connection than the presence of rifles make the French army a fighting force...:scrutiny:

Marines discover Iraqi 9/11 mural
Wednesday, March 26, 2003 Posted: 5:56 PM EST (2256 GMT)



The mural that Marines found Wednesday in Nasiriya depicts a plane crashing into a high-rise building.

NASIRIYA, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. Marines searching Iraqi military headquarters in this southern city that was the site of intensive fighting came across a mural depicting a plane crashing into a building complex resembling New York's twin towers, a news agency photograph showed Wednesday.

The plane's logo and coloring resembled that of Iraqi Airlines, said Getty Images News Service executive Brian Felber, based in New York.

The photograph, showing two rifle-toting Marines in front of the mural, was shot by staff photographer Joe Raedle, who is accompanying the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force from Task Force Tarawa.

Getty is a news photo agency that distributes about 500 photographs from around the world each day and has 10 staff members embedded with U.S. forces in the Iraq conflict.

Felber said this photo was "causing a bit of a stir."

I say that stinks pretty bad, and just goes to show that saddam's regime is quite likely to have postured itself in such a way to bring harm to this nation.

by the way, here's the image in question:

[Waitone]

Nope!

Salman Pak provides a much stronger link.

[Baba Louie]

One man's (men) act of terrorism is another man's act of heroism I gather.

Win their "Hearts and Minds"?

Never happen if all of the stuff we're hearing about their TV and radio stations spin has any degree of truth to it (We call it lying propaganda, they call it truth).

I like Alice Cooper's song "No more Mr. Nice Guy".

Win their "Hearts and Minds"?

Never happen.

Adios

[Don Gwinn]

No. . . and now it's time to merge a few of these mural threads.

[Ebbtide]

It may be more convincing if it was painted in 1999.

[Tamara]

It proves that all artists with the slightest modicum of talent have apparently been conscripted to paint flattering portraits of the Maximum Leader, leaving murals like this to be done by Mrs. Yussuf's 3rd Grade Arts & Crafts class...

Seeker_two, where's her gun??:scrutiny: ;)

[ahadams]

hmm, well it *might* prove that the wall in question was decorated by misinformed Iraqi middleschool students - you'll pardon my being underwhelmed by the artwork.

[seeker_two]

Seeker_two, where's her gun??

You'll have to ask agricola where her "guns" are...:evil:
