Unlike the mission to get bin Laden, the strikes in Syria would show little more than a series of explosions from the air. Total theater.

I must, however, give credit where credit is due. It was wise to edit Putin out of the pic.

12. That is poor editing. They pulled whomever was sitting between Cohn and Powell.

The back of the chair artifact is from Cohn's original chair (jacket matches), and he was "shifted" over to the seat just to the right of him. You can also see that the chair in front of him seems altered by the way the folder and the edge of the chair are in perspective. His body looks as if his left haunch tripled in size, like a 4 year old was trying to color in his butt and not quite able to remain in the lines...
Honestly, I could do a better job. That back of chair artifact would be gone, for one.
So yeah, someone seated in the group was pulled from the picture by someone with a passing knowledge of Adobe Photoshop. Now, why they did it, who knows?
