A question:
Do any of you believe that damning evidence regarding WMD's, connections to Usama, etc. will be found at these sites?
I tend to believe the paperwork has either been shredded, burned or, if we're lucky, buried in the underground shelters and bunkers.
What say you?

Q: Do any of you believe that damning evidence regarding WMD's, connections to Usama, etc. will be found at these sites?
A: I think one of the most dangerous jobs in liberated Iraq will be backhoe operators . . . Imagine how many will be digging trying to restore utility service on the sites of demolished govt buildings and end up rupturing 50 gal drums of nerve gas.
Yes, WMDs will be found (the hard way) over the next dozen or so years.

I sincerely hope that the top picture isn't one of our troops looting the palaces.
The trooper in the background rolling up a picture really bothers me.

If our troops were doing anything wrong do you think they would let anyone film it?

That disturbs me even more.
Do they think they have the right to loot?

Do they think they have the right to loot?You should ask them that I do not think they have any right to but I was saying they doubtfully were looting because of the pictures. Or do you think they are smart enough to win the war in 3 weeks but dumb enough to allow pictures of them stealing? I am saying I doubt they were looting. But anyone has the right to translate the picture as they see fit I guess.
