The blogosphere is abuzz over conservatives' charges that a logo being used by the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency looks very much like a fusion of the Muslim crescent moon and star and the Obama campaign logo. Some folks even detected a similarity to the Iranian Space Agency logo.

"New Missile Defense Agency Logo Causes Online Commotion," said the headline on Drudge. Indeed it did. Our pal Frank Gaffney, writing on his blog, expressed alarm. "The Obama administration's determined effort to reduce America's missile defense capabilities initially seemed to be just standard Leftist fare," wrote Gaffney, a senior Pentagon official in the Reagan administration. But "a just-unveiled symbolic action suggests, however, that something even more nefarious is afoot."

Lefty bloggers insisted that the logo meant nothing of the sort, suggesting the right-wingers must have found some particularly high-grade hallucinogens. Well, we thought the conservatives had the better of the argument.

Turns out, however, the "new" logo is not so new. "This was a logo that was developed three years ago for our recruiting materials and our public Web site," MDA spokesman Rick Lehner told our colleague Ed O'Keefe. "It did not replace our official MDA logo, and of course it has no ties to any political campaign. It was done one year before the 2008 elections. So the whole thing is pretty ridiculous." Lehner said the insignia was chosen because it was "cheaper, because it's three colors as opposed to the five colors on the official logo."

What a minute. Did he say one year before the election? During the George W. Bush administration? Can we get some subpoenas out on this?

Their actual, OFFICIAL logo, by the way:

But the new one for their recruiting tools looks too much like:

Iranian space agency

New Pepsi logo

and worst of all, (gasp!) Obama campaign logo!!

surprised they didn't liken it to the Russian Federal Space Agency, Rosaviacosmos, but I'm sure they'll get around to that one next:

Some, including columnist Michelle Malkin, say the changed logo has taken on elements of President Barack Obama campaign symbols and is part of a "rebranding" of government.

Trust good old Michelle Malkin to be right there in the middle of things. So it's not their official logo, just used for recruiting materials, and it came out BEFORE the '08 campaign...not that it matters...

Amazing what some conspiracy theorists come up with, isn't it? Tho' there IS enough similarities to make the connection if your brain goes that way. Betcha now there will be nutwings saying it was a lie that it was created that early, and the government is trying to cover it up...

I can just picture PN, hunched over his computer, going "Ah-HAH!"
