Bells, whistles and warning alarms should have been screaming inside 
your head even before you posted it.  Even your initial message 
alluded to it being an incredulous act on UNICEF's part.

The problem is is that I am not lying.  That you placed such a 
far fetched article in here without checking the facts says 
it all. I sent message questioning you on that as soon as I 
saw your initial posting.  I did not see a reply to that.  AFAIK, 
neither did anyone else.  

As the facts stand, you used an unconfirmed source.  That is 
exactly what the current adminstration's crop of neocons and 
religious right affiliates do.  They cherry pick facts.  And, as 
in this case, they message those facts to make up a fully 
false impression.  

It took me less than a minute to find UNICEF's web site and 
debunk what you posted.  What you provided was not just taken 
out of context by your source, the import of the photo was 
twisted beyound all recognition to the original material.  

Similar patterns were what lead to the invasion of Iraq.  Virtually 
none of Bush's reasons to go to war were validated.  Worse, some 
of the "facts" were questioned far more than once and declared 
to be outright lies.  Yet, those "facts" made it into 
Presidential speaches such as the State of Union Address.  

Many people still believe those lies that were foisted off on the 
American public.  Now, the Adminstration is attempted a new 
round of lies in order to attack Iran.  

Enough is enough.
