"Our politicians, and their henchmen, at their finest! In an apparent error, the Democratic National Convention's primary backdrop for its salute to veterans, by a 4-star admiral, featured a composite warship backdrop, in parade review, as a sign of U.S. strength and force projection; unfortunately, all of the naval ships in the image were Russian warships."
that was no accident
just a glitch in the matrix. keep the show rolling

stirring, indeed :lol
:lol Whoever google searched for the images for the slideshow is going to get a mighty firm talking to...
:lmao fucking idiots.
Serves them right, though. Both parties love to pay false tribute to the troops and vets and this shows it.
Are you guys sure they're Russian? Those look like F-5s flying above them, which the US never used but sold all over the Middle East and in Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc.Quote:

Makes sense if this was some trolljob by someone in the DNC though I guess, since the MiGs Tom Cruise shot down in Top Gun were F-5s.
TFA says they are F-5s and apparently photoshopped in alongside the Russian's Black Sea Fleet :lol
Yeah they really looked photo shopped to me. We do fly them I think though. They are in the ANG if I remember correctly.
You're right that they were the mythical MiG28 from Top Gun though. :lol
The leftist media tried to hide this from public view I bet. This happened how ling ago? More than two weeks, isn't it?
Who in the media would have known they were Russian ships on sight?
I'm sure someone pointed it out right away, unless...Quote:

No. I'm suggesting that Fox would have shit itself as soon as anyone found out about it.Quote:

Drudge had this a while a go (a couple of weeks) apparently Kerry made the same mistake in 04 as well
Fucking idiot. There's about 153,224,367,000 items more newsworthy than this. What's the news content here? None.Quote:

Two things:
1) What a bunch of fucking idiots. Really.
2) Anyone trying to paint this as anything more than a inadvertent fuck up is a political hack of biblical proportions. (WC)
