That’s interesting because that is the AFP/Getty Images photo which was altered and actually shows something other than the 'horrible ballistic missiles that Iran will use to blow up the Israel'. Apparently you can tell by the angle (i.e. they don't shoot straight up) that these aren't really long range ballistic missiles (rather, they are probably short range/defensive anti-aircraft missiles). Someone figured this out and did some searching and found that someone got a little lazy and just decided to do a little photochopping. <img src="http://blogs.timesunion.com/editors/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/combo.jpg" width="740" height="240"> OOPS! The photo you post takes the original and does some additional photoshopping of its own. It does a very good job of lampooning the moronic photo editor who overplayed the photo as showing 'the Iran threat' when in fact it just shows some run of the mill AA missiles.
