The Little Fat Boys

The MSM is getting itself in a terrible furore over Iran's recent missile tests. The tests are actually completely uninteresting. A lot has been made of the fact they are capable of striking Israel, and many say it is a sign that Iran is not going to bow to international pressure over its regional and nuclear ambitions.

What it actually is, is the same psychological phenomena that causes aggression a in little fat boy, who feels so insecure that the only way he can establish some semblance of self-confidence is to lash out against smaller kids. It's a show of strength, nothing more.

The MSM, however, won't let a little thing like 'reality' get in the way. So, according to the ranks of the offices of the national and international papers alike, playing into the hands of the little fat boys themselves, Iran is the Fourth Reich, and nothing must be able to destroy this 'boogeyman' fantasy, especially not some pathetic little notion of 'truth'. Hence - via Richard North - Little Green Footballs has identified "at least one of the photographs released by Iran" is a photoshopped forgery:

Also via Richard North, we are reminded that another photo used in various media outlets for the tests "looks remarkably similar to that taken last November (top of pair):"

I doubt Goebbels would have been this sloppy.
