A recent mission to Iraq headed by top archaeologists ... found that, contrary to received wisdom, southern Iraq's most important historic sites ... had neither been seriously damaged nor looted after the American invasion.

Latest heard from the DemonRATs

NO! NO! NO! NO!


They caught us in another lie!!!

“Faith,” in liberals, is always misplaced.

I think we all know we didnt break enough long enough.

Supposedly missing Iraq artifacts found. ;)

According to the Art Newspaper article, "The international team ... had been expecting to find considerable evidence of looting after 2003 but to their astonishment and relief secret disappointment there was none. ...

It’s too late. The “looted sites” have already figured in the plot lines of several TV shows (and probably a movies, books, etc. that I’m not aware of). It’s become (to use an overworked, and most often misused term, beloved of pseudo-intellectual leftists) a cultural meme. The truth doesn’t matter — it’s the truthiness that counts.

Thanks for posting this.

I know a liberal who believes that the museum looting was more significant than the elimination of a serious international threat, and the liberation of 30,000,000 people from a police state. His version of the Iraq war boils down to this: Americans murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, and the gross incompetence of the American military and the Bush Administration permitted the looting of irreplaceable historical artifacts. Nothing else of importance happened in Iraq.

You mean the antiquities were OK all along?

Oh, heavens. I'm going to bake my liberal friends a yellow cake and we can all celebrate!

In Canada!

...actually it was the Muzzies stealing their own cultural heritage in Baghdad, or blowing up thousand year old Buddahs and smashing statues in Bamiyan and Kabul...not American GIs.

But, by all means, tell lies about the Americans...it’s all so typical.

and the RATS, take another one in the..................HA ha!!!

Always struck me as odd that folks would head directly to the museum once the opportunity to loot came up.

Did New Orleans loose any historical treasures during Katrina?

I'm having deja vu (which is okay I guess as last night I dreamed about dead people). I thought this article was published last week?

Anywho, its been a long established fact (years) that No Looting Occurred. The museum directors finally fessed up that THEY took and/or hid all the 'looted' stuff for "safe keeping".

Bump.

Add it to the list of lies the media has told and the Administration has permitted.

When it comes to taking the ‘bully pulpit’, President Bush has been a serious disappointment.
