It has Egypt where Iraq is.
Actually I would call it a fraudulent slip, pun intended.
American pacified Egypt by way of the "Foreign Aid" teat. After invading Iraq, aren't we in effect doing the same thing to Iraq?
They get everything but a star on the flag.
At least Fox was close, most Americans couldn't identify or even spell Egypt.
+1 lol, its funny cause its true.
I know! I know!
SECDEF Gates isn't leaving after all.
Old.
This first came out July 2009.
Probably not photoshopped, but definitely recycled.
they will figure it out in a few days. guess the item on the gov. coercing chrysler and 2009 gates-ehud barack meeting didnt trigger anything.
at least there is a posting record ROFL
Right. And since when has the DOW been down 37.94 points, or any points for that matter?
I am Chumbawamba.
Yep.

Oops it looks like we invaded the wrong country.... ah well, those fucking ragheads all look the same anyways.
This map tell us that if Egypt goes Muslim, the America will have to live Iraq the same way it has let Vietnam, i.e., in a hurry.
I like to hear American, British and France diplomats are talking of having a democracy in Egypt. May be these colonial gangsters explain to us why are they still prefer dictatorial regimes to a democracy ones?
America must be pissed off by the Egyptian events since CIA may have to close its secret torture prisons there. What a fking pity!

Nah, the Clandestine ones just allow the Egytian PoPo's to do the work, those are some rude mean assed bitches.
hey , none of those boundaries matter anyway. eventually, it will all be 'US Territories'.
occupied territories you mean.
Actually, now that the internet has been blocked there, the correct spelling is E-gypped
How about eJipped?
It says Israel's a state. How about property theft?
+1000 A bunch of fakes hijacked a religion and eventually land that most carnal Christians think are The Chosen Ones.... Nothing against a true Christian. They know better;)
E-Gypsy-an= Internet savvy North African
Newsflash dash, ALL Jews are Members of the Chosen ones.
The Covenant is still in effect.
Speaking of that, openmesh has a project up trying to get internet access back into Egypt. They are looking for engineers who are interested in helping. http://www.openmeshproject.org/
I think a lot of governments are probably getting really antsy here. Some (our own) might decide it is better to be proactive in this regard. It might not be a bad idea to start considering our own alternatives here. I wish Tyler or one of the others would write an article about this.
And people thought I was strange for stockpiling 56K dialup modems.
I am Chumbawamba.
Old school.
USRobotics.....bitches.
Nice!
Talk about a collectable!
Oh, if you only knew.
I am Chumbawamba.
Gotcha. Google is my friend.
Not likely to survive the series of EMP events coming our way. I would counsel a more practical or cost-effective investment.
Ok I think I figured out what those FoXcons are up too.
Iraq is left off the map entirely. Iran is in the biggest FONT, front and center.
The establishment wants us to focusing on Iran. Even though there is some difference between the countries, most Americans only know the one letter difference in the name.
Establishment concludes it shouldn't be to difficult to convince the people of another war, with the names of the countires being so close, just off by one letter, fuck most
Americans wont even notice when the Iraq war ends the Iran war starts.
Look for Fox to put more maps in the future of Iran front and center.
IN Fed,
Spot on, but I do not think it will end there.
Egypt(I can spell it), hates the Shia, and Persians(Iran) hate the Sunnis.
Most all the territory there is occupied by Sunnis, I mean ALL of it.Iran is not nearly as strong militarily as Egypt,much less most of the others.
Iran wants the Nuke, to be able to wield the Sword............this cannot be allowed to happen.
The only people who flagged this post are the morons who actually had to open a new browser tab and do an image search for "middle east map" to notice the error. He's 100% right, half of America can't even spell Egypt nor locate it on a map. Any segment of Jay Walking with Jay Leno will prove that.
Yeah, I get it. America, always wrong and evil.
Damned if we do, and damned if we don't.
Might as well do what is best for us, and not worry too much what everyone thinks of us.
CRY MOAR, when did the U.S. start doing what's right for the people? The country got hijacked by multinational corporations and hired our Mercenary pentagon to open up new markets overseas without even declaring an offical state of war.
What do you get a dividend check or something? You seem to have the mental agility of a 18 year old jarhead.
I hate the direction my country is going.
I don't hate my country.
Welcome to the club!
Really? What nation do you hail from?
No, he is just a "regular" zionist.
Failure to recognize when America does wrong or evil things, means America can never correct what is wrong, never improve as a nation.
Why do you hate America?
Can't you guys get a new playbook?
But there's nothing wrong with the old one.
Actions have consequences, thought conservative "take responsibility" types understood that.
Can't you?
explain how the current path has been best for "us"
It is not. Never said it was.
Nation building was always a dumb idea. We should keep what we conquer.
An empire would.
We do, but rather than deal with the noisy populations, we install dictators so we don't have to... (but we put a military base there just in case.) Every once in a while those dictators stop taking orders, and then we have to set an example. Not sure if that is what is going on in Egypt or not.
like we're installing rahm in chicago, eh?
The owners of the US always do what is in their interest regardless of what we the people think and you are sufficiently ignorant to identify with them... another stupid sheep in the slaughter pen. Enjoy.
You are probably right. At this point in time I would rather see the liberal intelligentsia put up against a wall than the ultra-rich.
Yea, cause the liberal intelligentsia CONTROL EVERYTHING! Jesus Christ you are a dipshit man.
Yep. They own the bureaucracies, the MFM, Hollywood and most of the schools.
They are the cancer.
The ultra-rich are just thieves.
dude, get the fuck off the liberal/conservative shit. Why don't most people understand tht the transition from red to blue (or blue to red for that matter) is always smooth. Nothing changes. But now idiots get to blame another team. When people get tired of one team they go and vote in the team that fucked them over 8 years ago. But it feels good to have someone to blame, doesn't it?
Jumpin Jeebus on a pogo stick, you are a fucktard.
Our current marketing plan. Might see a tenny problem soon however. Milestones
Rodent,
Dont know why you got junked so much, except for the fact HAD we minded our own business, we damn shure would be better off, by a country mile.
That being said, NO NATION, has been more giving and done more for the poor of the world, none.
We always catch the shit, but never get what we deserve credit for the good, as well as the bad.
Here we sit broke dik dogs, having (including foreign adventures aside),freely given more to all nations in need than likely all others combined, we truly are ( as a people), a lot of worthless FKS..
Somebody got into my map files
LOL
As soon as I saw it I instantly thought Banzai7 was at it again. The map certainly looked like it had been Banzai'd to me. :>)
That's one hell of a liberation front pushing through the region. The powers that be are hoping it doesn't stall, but instead moves quickly on.
Makes you think where the American forces landed when they "invaded" Iraq he?
SOLDIER: LOOK GENERAL! THEY ALSO HAVE PYRAMIDS IN IRAQ JUST LIKE THOSE ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL IN EGYPT!!
General: Yes euh... they do. EVERYBODY BACK TO THE SHIPS!!
2 months later:
SOLDIER: LOOK GENERAL! THOSE IRAQI ARE STUPID! THAT TOWER OVER THERE LOOKS AS CROOKED AS THE TOWER OF PIZZA
General: crap... EVERYBODY BACK TO THE SHIPS!!!
...
no wonder it took them 12 months after 9/11 to invade Iraq...
It took 12 months because of a very extensive and detailed investigation. (911 Comission).
And they still picked the wrong country. It should have been Iran.
Saudi Arabia.
Israel.
Or after this week, should I say Palestine?
I am Chumbawamba.
I prefer this way of thinking:
"We have met the enemy and he is us"
Didn't Bush use a blog text from a English student as proof that Iraq had weapons of mass distruction? :)
Bush: WHO DID THAT!!?? I NEED INFO!!
CIA dude: I'LL GOOGLE IT PRESIDENT SIR, just a sec...
Bush: WHERE'S MY EARPIECE! I MUST ADRESS THE NATION IN 20 MINUTES!
CIA dude: Look sir, on this blog it clearly show Iraq did it! It's on the internet so it must be true!
Bush: PROOF ENOUGH FOR ME! LET'S KILL 1 MILLION IRAQI CITIZENS AND CALL IT VICTORY!!
WE'LL BE IN AND OUT IN 2 MONTHS!!
And only $60b.
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States aka the 9/11 Commission wasn't even formed until 443 days after 09-11-2001. It was, and remains, a national disgrace that it took that long to even begin the official cover-up. After previous state (USA) sponsored domestic terrorism events the cover-up began much sooner, usually just a few weeks to a few months after "the event".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Commission
Of course, that time lapse had nothing at all to do with the fact that IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 911. The terrorists who flew those planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were Saudis and Egyptians funded by a Saudi CIA asset who was hiding out in Afghanistan. The invasion of Iraq was an act of bullying aggression against an opponent who was quite blameless. The charges against Iraq were, if you recall, a nuclear program which it was purported to still be pursuing. Iraq claimed it was not and nothing was ever found in inspections prior to our invasion. Colin Powell (shame on him) took some trumped up and long since proven falsified evidence to the United Nations. Iraq was invaded on those grounds. Any one who has even had a high school class in logic knows that while we could have proven Iraq had a nuclear program, if it had in fact existed, Iraq could never have proven that they did not have such a program. It is not possible to prove a negative. Ask Martin Armstrong.
True! And wasn't it ElBaradei, then Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (U.N.) who reported that after extensive investigations, there was no Iragi nuclear program?
Same dude who is right now being positioned by CIA (via the U.N.) to replace Hosehead Mubarak?
Keeping it in the family. Scary shit indeed!
So the guy that contradicted the intelligence that justified Iraq is a CIA plant?
Like a cactus?
I am always skeptical of people who fly in from London to join the revolution
Sorry. There were no terrororists on those planes. Remote controlled.
Here is a piece I came across recently, and I have no reason not to believe it.
http://theinfounderground.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5367
Is there anyone is this room that disagrees with this piece,, please let me know why?
Today may be my day to fight.
911 = CIA/ Mossad Joint Operation
yes, this is why half of the "terrorists" named in the 911 commission report to be the hijackers are actually still alive and well. you would think that's a pretty big loose end, but i guess not
Not a worry when most minfully choose delusion.
In Fed, your link was working this morning, now it is not. Strange indeed.
Some intriguing info, I wanted to take a look at it this evening, now poof. Looks like it has suffered the same fate as the Eqyptian internet.
I'm assuming you mean the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Mind you, it DOES sound funny...Tower of Pizza...yeah! Yum!

Egypt, Iraq. Whats the difference? They both hate America for our freedoms and such and just wished to be liberated and taught democracy by Americans. That is every Brown person's dream.
After Patriot Acts 1 and 2, eviseration of Habeas Corpus, creation of the Homeland Security Gestapo, and removal of all privacy, our freedoms are gone. They should really love us now :-)
I admire your optimism and good cheer. Whether I'm discussing the shredding of our Constitution (4th, 6th, and 14th amendments are essentially gone), or the current state of affairs on the world stage, I make every effort to engage in such dialogue with a smile on my face and a genuinely cheerful demeanor.
Alas, even this strategy seems to elicit hostility and anger from those around me.
Perhaps this is why I'm not invited to that many parties or social gatherings anymore. :-)
I don't even talk to them much anymore. They do love their delusions. Our minds and their minds are a complete contradiction. It's really quite simplistic.
I hope that's a <sarcasm on> comment, as if it is not, then you and the like-minded deserve every bit of hate you receive from these countries.Hate America for your freedoms? really? more like hate America for people like you I would say: Arrogant, self-declared modernizers who get robbed and fucked by the bankers-ruling elite in your own country as slaves and yet preach this slavery to other slaves...Sad..
it was dont get your panties in a bunch . there are assholes like that but for the most part they work for the gov't . the exception being south carolina.
That's what I hoped as well,but having read some similar serious comments here before,I presume ZH has some followers from south carolina who really believe in that crap.
Another stupid sheep in the slaughter pen bleating their freedom.
Egypt, Iraq: one difference is the spelling.
new troll is new.
no one envies amrka's free-dumbs, away back to repeated watching of that last scene in your Boogie Nights "handle". . .
It also has "Israel" where Palestine is.
Lovely...
Except Palestine *never* existed anytime in history... who founded it, name heroes, battles (against whom), kings and palaces, where are the ruins of the ancient cities? What was the currency and exchange rate to the neighbors? Actually, show me *one* ancient document by a neighbor kingdom (or whatever) where they register anything to do with the "Palestine".
Again, Palestine *never* existed anytime in history.
What was it then? Palestine was a regional administration created/denominated by the Roman Empire for their benefit. That's it. All the rest, what is sold today as displaced people that want their land back is bullshit.
Praise Jesus!
Oh, yes, that is known as the "people without a land for a land without a people" gambit. Mendacious historical non-sense, as everything that ever exited the mouths of Zionists. Nothing but mendacity in the service of murder and theft. What do you have to claim that real estate, Zio Buddy, other than your fraudulent "biblical archeology" (not a single find recognized outside the Zio-entity), and the totally uncorroborated narratives of your own religious texts? Nada, niente, nichts, rien de rien.
The Zionist colonial project is doomed and won't last the next 10 years, nukes or not. And most Zionist cowards will rather flee than live in a secular democracy in Palestine as a minority in a binational state. At that moment, I wonder if they will also claim that "New Jersey has *never* existed anytime in history". I bet the displaced locals will beg to disagree.
Cut the crap and tell us who was the greatest king of Palestine and how much gold and soldiers he had.
It was by the sea right? So, what was the ship model and how many he had. How many rowers per boat and they were slaves or free man? Come on tell us!
Why, there was no Palestinian King, and they never claimed that to legitimate their title to the land. This narrative is entirely Zionist, and is entirely ficticious since there is absolutely no archeological proof or contemporary mention of David, Salomon, exodus, Babylonian Exile or of other petty jewish kingdoms in that area.
You may claim as much as you want that there was a "Israel" because YHWE told you so, that does not change the historical record.
Canaan State, an idea whose time has come!!
All I'm claiming is that Palestine never existed and that the current views around it is bullshit. Period.
Now, you say some Jewish history is fictitious. It might even be but it was written into something that survived the time and has a distinct character set. Even the "barbaric" Persians had historical recordings (be it fictitious or not). What was the character set used by the Palestinians? There's not even painting in a rock to show...
---
I'm done with this discussion. If you bring us some ancient factual proof that Palestine existed I'll be glad to hear it.
"Cut the crap and tell us who was the greatest king of Palestine and how much gold and soldiers he had. ..... "
Cut the crap and tell us who was the greatest king of USA and how much gold and soldiers he had. .....
This is the best you got? Oh, boy...
If not a king, what was the form of government the Palestinians had?
How was it stablished and how did it end? When? And with that, what calendar they used?
---
Come on people, these (and others above) are all simple historical questions. Every known civilizations that ever existed have at least some of them answered.
If you don't know just say "I don't know"! But why come up with stupid analogies or make up things on the spot to support a "Palestinian" lie making it even more obvious...
---
Let's make it different, bring up an important ancient fact about Palestine. I want to hear.
Hopefully Sec Gates gets the correct map before meeting the Jews.
That would suck if we envaded Iraq twice because of a bad map?
Maybe it was done on purpose to FoX listeners, so they could be shown this "hot bed" of trouble, so close to Isreal, and at the same time leave the countries we are still warring with off the map.
TV programming making new lows..
God I wish I could argue with that post.
And here I thought Iraq was the 58th state. My bad.
People get a Hint, Fox is suggesting to do to Egypt as we did to Iraq, afterall spreding democracy is the job of the US Army not of the free citizens of the country
BINGO, They have already started to erect concrete barriers for some damn reason.
We are already over there so we might as well spread some more democracy.
Ever wonder why the herion crop has doubled/ trippled since our occupation?
I figured our troops would of set fire to those damn poppies, since we are already over there. 2 birds with 1 stone.
War on Drugs Commission outta call the military up and discuss how they might be able to combine the War on Bin Laden with the War on Drugs. Better efficientcy of our taz dollars you see.
Let me know if you find the answer to my question, thanks.
heroin is to the penta-gone as cocaine is to the see-eye-A.
off the books funding, washed 'n' folded into place(s) at the banking laundries.
does that work for you?
In the last couple of weeks/months there has been a slow but gradual use of "Jerusalem" as Israel's capital. Things like, 'meanwhile Jerusalem nervously discusses the future of ...'
Also, there is a growing use of Israeli maps that show the West Bank and Jerusalem a contiguous part of the country.
Finally.
Israel is making their stand. Jerusalem or bust.
May petty borders be swept from the pages of history.
my thoughts exactly
arbitrary, imaginary lines drawn and redrawn in minds - changed like laws & constitutions, fictional tales told the humans who have to live them as truths.
See, mama, you understand that? (No)
Well, like, I don't understand how you can, because I got me uh,
You know, Paris, Peru, you know, I mean
Iraq, Iran, Eurasia, you know
I speak very, very um, fluent Spanish
Eh, todo esta bien chevere, you understand that? (Chevere?)
Chevere, bien chevere, is that right, mama?

First posted on Media Matters, July 2009, possible photoshop
Freudia.., sorry Foxyan Slip. They unintendedly showed where they wish Egypt was.
If Fox says it's there, then that's where it is.
Praise Jesus for giving us our own network!
Wow. Just wow.
the wow part is that image is over 2 years old and rumured to be photoshop'ed
This site accepts / posts many things at face value. Be careful what you believe.
ROFL
They spelled U.S.A. wrong, in the map it's spelled Egypt... what the heck is an Egypt?
It's Lara Croft's ranch.
Bush's Ranch is in big bold letters for effect.
in the map it's spelled Egypt... what the heck is an Egypt?
Bad spelling.
They intended to write "I gypped!" as in I overpaid, or got ripped off, or ended up paying for both Rubin's pension and Dimon's bonus, and Geno-Ben's chance at 15 minutes to resolve everything, plus I lost my house, my job and my spouse.
"I gypped!" is synonymous with "Change you can believe in." Monetary value? About a quarter. Long term negative effects? Priceless.
+100000 :)
Tyler...obviously, you were not informed of the merger and re-branding. Get with it man...ZH is supposed to be on top of these things.
looks like iraq has been assimilated by egypt.
Picture thief!
WILL THE REAL MONKEY PLEASE STAND UP!
anne coulter has been playing with their grpahics machine again
L.O.L. ....... even I know what's wrong with that map !!!
congrats....
HERE'S A CRACKER FOR YOU POLLY! :)
other than the Egypt problem, the countries are not to scale either.
Well what do you expect from Fox?????
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! FOX NEWS! The collective intelligentsia of America summed up in one picture.
Looks like Sarah the Palin is now doing drawings for FOX. I'm surprised Alaska is not on there somewhere since I'm sure she can see Egypt from her back porch.

Egypt...Iraq, what's the difference? It's Super Bowl week!
Soon it will just be called the "Middle East Union."

Would Egyptian nomads be called Egyptsies?
where do you think 'gypsies' comes from
I thought Egypt had that river with the funny name DeNile in it! Guess It's in Iraq?
Funny Americans.

Sometimes I think that I must be the butt of a very long-running joke. If state lines are beyond their levels of competence, why watch FOX at all? But, since my last TV had an Atari permanently hooked up to it, there must be something else going on. Something evil.
Hahahahahahahaha, too much! Please tell me this was done by WB7!
Wow look America, how huge Iran is and look how small teeny-weeny poor defenseless Israel is.
Well well Faux Snooze has sold the lie to their viewers that the BIG "E" is right next door to IRAN so those damn evil muslims are now suppling the crazy "E" radical muslims weapons, money, backpack explosives, camels, & photos of HitLarry's clit. So those evil bastards in Iran are responsible for this mess. I knew it all along thanks Faux Snooze for the confirmation.
Huh, that's amazing? The Suez canal is only about 120 miles long. Does that mean it's really a worm-hole or something else.
Inconceivable. I've always suspected their QC process was flawed, but this is unusually strong evidence.
Things are heating up in Egypt:
