Something just occured to me over this "fake Baghdad" picture.
Maybe they just assume they're in Baghdad because that's what they're told.

Maybe thats why Joementum, and the republicans, don't think anything is wrong in Baghdad. The military just takes them to Istanbul and tells them it's Baghdad. :D

4. either that or they just assume Americans are too stupid...
...to know the difference. if I were a Republican, I would be EXTREMELY offended by Kaloogian's obvious deception when our soldiers are facing real danger on the real streets of Baghdad. Why would he minimize what are troops are experiencing? Are they not risking their lives so he can run for office here? ;)

5. They do the same thing to bush
They tell him he is going to South Dakota and take him to Wyoming. That fucker wouldn't know the difference. "Wow, there sure are a lot of Wyoming license plates here carl!"

6. But then again . . .
. . . maybe the guy is so dumb that he mis-labeled or didn't label his shots and got his head a bit atwitter when he saw the pictures.

7. When they land at the airport and see the big Welcome to Istanbul sign...
They're told that it's just there to fool the terrorists.

11. I thought of that too. Maybe a screen-grab from F9/11.
Remember the scene they criticized so much for not showing the "true" iraq? The one in the peaceful neighborhood with children playing.
