The Last Word (Hopefully) on the Messiah World Tour

Blackfive has a follow-up to the messiah blew off the troops story. Seems the AP, and the Army Times, in an attempt to quash the rumours and discredit the email, tried to convince the sheeple that the chosen one actually did visit troops at Bagram Airbase, by using the same photograph it took at Kuwait.
Did they really think someone wouldn't notice? Do they really think EVERYONE is stupid?
