bigjarofwasps Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English. So, how do a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To Americans", etc. slogans printed in English?Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English. Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Army sergeant!Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way through the Arab TV networks, but the results were "Priceless."
bigjarofwasps Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 If by shopped you mean doctored or faked. Then yes I agree whole heartedly, there is no doubt there at all. But its quality all the same!!!!!

Firefly Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Ed, You may have a point, which is why I've deleted my original reply. However, the post is intended to be light-hearted, and we should try to take it as such.....Cheers, Amos.
