I found this photo out on the web --

[Emillereid]

is it authentic?

1. Doubt it. n/t

[ComerPerro]

2. No, but its well done

Interesting story, though. Its actually photoshopped from a pic of Saddam shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld. There is even a video from it.

3. Yes and No its a spoof of the real photo of Rummy and Saddam

but its not real, Saddam is obviously younger and Bush started as pResident when Saddam was older but I wouldnt doubt that Saddam and George have been drinking together :evilgrin:.

4. That's not Rummy, but you're right about the spoof

Rummy had a striped tie.

5. NOT RUMMY

Rummy was on the left in the original foto

6. The Rummy pic was very fuzzy

Here it is in all it's glory:



Not sure who did the Bush one, but it's one hell of a photoshop job!

That is, IF it's a photoshop...

(on edit: I knew the Rummy/Saddam one was real. Just commented on the Bush one)

7. That one is real. Here's the video.

8. The Rummy photo is for real

It's fuzzy because it came from a videotape of the 1983 meeting.

I don't think the (I believe) fake photo of dumbya & saddam above was done using that photo. And I agree with whoever said that that's a damned good forgery of * and saddam.

9. Is this one real?

11. There's no doubt in my mind about this one

And I betcha Usama binLaden was waiting at the bottom for his turn...

FUCK BUSH Buttons, Stickers & Magnets

10. I'm fairly adept at photo editing. I don't think so--

somebody's idea of a joke. But it coulda happened. It would be more likely if that were Pops gladhanding the Slime.

12. fake as a three-dollar bill

About as real as that hard-core porno shot of Hillary Clinton I saw a while back.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. It was Rumsfeld that Saddam was shaking hands with

I have seen footage of that many times. Bush Sr. was in office in those days.:shrug:
