3. Would you mind adding the actual URL where you found this photo?
A picture does indeed say a thousand words. A screen shot of that page should be saved to our hard drives. Thank you very much for posting this.

4. I don't get it
The man is putting some ones in his jacket. What's the big deal? Maybe he's going to a strip club later.

But seriously, you're talking about screenshots and stuff. What am I missing?

8. Ok, for one...
...it's not Iraq, it's that other quagmire we are in, Afghanistan. Secondly, who puts unfolded ones in their jacket pocket like that? This is a photoshop and the original photo has him putting an envelope in his pocket I'm guessing. Granted, it could be for real, but why ones, and why US One dollar bills in Afghanistan?

9. actually..
Afghanistan does run on dollars, almost all the narcostates do..

It's interesting though that we are pouring billions into arming Colombia ostensibly as part of the "War on Drugs" and billions into Afghanistan to prop up a goverment completely dependent on the drug trade.

10. if it was photoshop, they would have been $100's
and if you've ever been in a place where there are lots of pickpockets, you don't put your cash in your pants pockets. You put it up close to your face where you know if someone sticks their hand in there.

Maybe the guy was paying him back for a cup of coffee? Or from the strip club visit the night before.

some of the dollar pixels are spilling over onto his hand. This photo has previously visited PhotoShop.
