Apparently, one of the missiles didn't fire, so they altered the picture.

My first stab at Photoshop convinced me, never believe any photo you see, or video, or print, or Current, or CNN, or me, or( and this goes without saying ) FOX!

Well, this is no News. The CIA and Nasa used "Paint" to proof that someone already stepped onto the Moon.

They needed to add BALL Lightening! why?...
... for the sake of artistic beauty, they obviously have altered the photo for sheer balance and composition. I think that a dramatic storm in the sky would have been a cool touch, like ball lightening!
Huge, Destructive and Firery-Red in the background...
Now...
Woah that would scare the pants off the ... (insert country Iran was trying to SCARE/impress HERE)!!!Yeah, ball lightening baby!
NOW That would instill fear! Beyond the additional missiles. Just imagine!I personally like the image that Jay_ct uploaded. Much more artistic. Ball lightening would make that cooler too though.
Gotta luv us gamers.
If this went over your head, you are not a techie, nerd, geek, or old school gamer, umm.. so don't feel bad. Really it was funny I promise! (bright smile)

The Bush administration doesn't know how to use photoshop, so they just show us pictures of buildings and say that there are WMD's there.
I can't believe it worked.

So how are we to know who really photoshopped this picture? Us or them? Seeing is NOT believing anymore... could be propaganda by them to show military force in an attempt to scare us out of invasion... could be propaganda by us preparing the american populous for the invasion of iran and the justification to follow..... who knows? not me.

Maybe it was an attempt to make the photograph look more balanced... which, of course, is the most important thing.
