2. Funny, but pretty sure it's been debunked.

There was a similar one with Clinton as I recall.

3. Nope! This one was NOT debunked!

The one with Clinton showed him with binoculars that had no lenscaps on...someone photoshopped the pic to black out the lenses.

Notice in this photo, the lenscaps are, indeed, ON. It's an old photo...I first saw it in either late 2002 or early 2003. :)

5. actually

There are reasons why binoculars (especially types used by the military) shown in a photograph might appear to be capped when they really aren't: the lenses could be coated with a non-reflective material to cut down on glare and prevent gleams of light from reflecting off the lens and revealing one's position to the enemy, or the binoculars could be NVD (night vision devices) which also work in daylight (provided they have caps with small holes in place to block out most of the light).

6. What I'm looking at in the picture

are the underside of the binoculars...not so much the caps themselves, but the thin plastic strips attached to the edge of the caps that keep them "hanging" on the binoculars after being removed from the lenses.

Would caps with the small holes that can be used for night vision look like that? I've never seen them before...

4. Ohhhh Say, Can You See...
