This picture is not doctored.

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."

Bus fare to anti-war protest rally - $0.50

Paint and canvas protest signs - $32.00

Asking a retired US Army Sergeant to translate
Your anti-American slogans - ????????? PRICELESS!

If it werent for the fact that that looks severely photoshopped, I'd say theres a retired US Army Sgt living in Syria who now has a fatwa out on him
