Missing Bush: a Republican propaganda ploy?

Where does this picture in the Weekly Standard come from?  It look suspicious and seems drafted by US republicans and the words don't seem to come from the Syrians themselves (procrastination? audacity?).  I smell a propaganda ploy here.  Syrians I consulted with were equally suspicious.  It was posted on the front page of Drudge Report.  What? People of Kfar Anbel will soon raise a poster for Drudge?

A Syrian reader was able to spot the sign in this video among this small group of protesters.  The chant is "May god curse your soul, o Hafidh".  This should be added to the list of inventiveness and creativity among protesters that Neil MacFarquhar wrote about the other day.
