Lesson learned: Research pays off

Found this on Best of the Web (hat tip Michelle). First, watch this video, the latest from the collection of Soros supported goofballs known as MoveOn.org.

Now look at this picture captured from the video:


Best of the Web received an e-mail from a Captain who noticed something a bit peculiar:

I just got back from my third deployment from Iraq on Friday, and I happened to be at the dentist and saw a completely offensive ad from the idiots at MoveOn.org this morning. Anyway, it is a Bush-bashing ad that pretends to be arguing for American soldiers families as they will miss the holidays and it shows turkey and crying wives and blames Bush for it all. Here is the crucial part of the ad that I would like to bring to your attention. As they pretend to argue on my behalf, they show a group of soldiers standing around a table in the Middle East...These are not your normal everyday U.S. soldiers though. If you look at the frame they are actually British soldiers. One is in shorts (we don't have shorts as a normal combat uniform) and the others are all clearly wearing British pattern fatigues. So, my point is that these [turkeys] pretend to argue on my behalf and bash the president in the name of my crying wife, and they don't even know what an American soldier looks like! Anyway, it really [ticked] me off.

(emphasis mine.)

Michelle also notes that they tried to photoshop their mistake on their website:


Mark in Mexico (hat tip Michelle, again) provides more evidence. As the Captain indicated in his e-mail to Best of the Web, the pattern of the fatigues is wrong.

Oops. I guess it pays to do a little research, doesn't it?

Funny thing about the internet. TV and radio are transient and are gone almost as soon as they are aired (with a handful of exceptions). Internet files remain for years and years. Makes it hard to cover up your mistakes...or your lies.
