This is obviously Photoshopped.
I have THE PROOF that Yon made this up and is a liar!!!!11!
So much for the fake right blogosphere news! This is Teh Fakes!
UPDATE. My sources tell me that Yon was making this up and it's a lie. Top sources.
UPDATE. My emailers agree with my sources. That can't be a coincidence.
UPDATE: The plot thickens! TS has the goods. This looks like a blogswarm, folks.
LGF has declared this the "photo of the year".
I would have thought they might want to check the archives of the run away leader in the weblog awards "Photo blog" category "Zombietime" first. Phenomenally skilled photography portfolio that it is.

If you magnify the photo you can see that each of them has one purple finger!

Centcom has just confirmed that, in fact, there is no such person as Michael Yon.

What kind of American is named "Michael YON"?????????? That doesn't sound American. I think that fully makes the case that this photo is FAKED, FAKED, FAKED. So there.

So the guy in the orange shirt is supposed to be Simon of Cyrene?

Isn't that Green Helmet Guy up there?

Check the kerning on that cross.

Even more inspiring than the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

Look closely, that is not a cross, it's a giant asterisk that is being placed on Barrry Bond's house.

That guy with his hand up the other guy's butt...he's clearly supposed to be in a picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and if you look up in the sky, you can see that someone cloned the vapor trail of one missile and created another missile!

Pretty small cross. Jesus would be pissed.

How do we know they're not removing that "cross" from the top of the building?
Personally, I'd bet it's just a cleverly disguised, albeit borderline aesthetically appealing, cell service antenna.

I just checked with my buddy who served in the naval reserve. He says the purple finger thing happened OVER TWO YEARS AGO!1!!11eleventy1!
They are just photoshoping that so as to embolden our glorious country's enemies.
(my, that was kinda fun, I can see why they do it so much)

Actually, it is just further proof that the civil war will continue with renewed vigor, because that is apparently what many religious folks in this country are doing now i.e. killing their neighbors who don't believe in the right illiterate carpenter or sheep herder or who might interpret some obscure passage from the Koran in a different way. On the positive side this will increase the ratio of us atheists and make the world less guided by fairytales.

Andrew Lloyd Weber is having to go farther and farther to get a show staged.

That's right. If you run a war backwards, it looks like peace.

The horrendous grammar is a dead giveaway:
Another man, a Muslim, said "All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother."
