...wonder why...
Far Sight 3
: Where was this picture found?
: What is the link?
: Was it from a mainline news reporting agency or an alternative
: website?
: None of the above?
: I feel that such context would be most helpful for the sake of
: interpretation!
: It appears that ChristopherBollyn has not answered these
: questions with his post, however, I will assume for now
: that the picture was found somewhere on the net and
: represents an actual armoured vehicle in Iraq.
: Therefore, I believe this picture can be viewed in at least
: two ways: First, if the photo hasn't just been constructed
: by someone with Corel (etc.) and is an actual
: representation of what exists in Iraq, then it was more
: than likely put on the military vehicle by one of the
: occupants/ soldiers (kind of like how we decorate our
: cubicles at work with comics, etc. or how hockey goalies
: paint their masks to point out their interests or how
: they'd like to be seen/identified).
: Second, what would be most interesting to me, is to know who
: has published the picture! Then we may have a better idea
: who is sending what kind of message.
: If this picture is from the mainstream press, perhaps we could
: see it in light of the masonic 'no fly zone' between the 32
: and 33 degrees parallel (and the more recent posts on the
: occurrence of the number 33 - correct me if I'm wrong, but
: it sure looks like Fajullah is just above the 33rd parallel
: - here's a map:

: ).
: Looking forward to context...
