124. No, I heard it from a sociologist who had done research on Grenada
He went back to check up on friends as soon as possible after the invasion and saw all these graffiti all over the island, all in the same paint and handwriting. He started asking around and no one knew where the graffiti had come from. Finally, a man told him that he had gotten up to pee in the middle of the night and had seen a bunch of white men jump out of a panel truck and spray paint a building, then get back into the panel truck and drive off.

Eight years later, after the invasion of Panama, Time and Newsweek printed photos of buildings in Panama spray painted with "God Bless America" and "Thank you, President Bush."

I just did a Google image search, and I can't find examples of either one, but I know that news magazines were displaying these photos prominently after both invasions.
