Hey, YOU IDIOT PRESS "people"!!! All of this "loot" was bought with THEIR money that was suppose to buy them FOOD!!! I can't blame them for "looting"!

Why weren't you reporting this kind of LOOTING when the Clintons were STEALING property from the White House? I am sick of these so-called "reporters".

They MUST trash every report with "looting". We can't have the Iraqi people CELEBRATING the END to a MONSTER without putting in the "looting".

Hundreds of Iraqis cheered U.S. troops in Saddam City, a poor neighborhood in northeast Baghdad. One shouted, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bush!" One group of Iraqis held up a portrait of Saddam Hussein and smashed it, calling him a "criminal."

COALITION FORCES IN STRUGGLE FOR LAW AND ORDER

12:12 - 09 April 2003

Desperate Iraqis swarmed tanker trucks distributing water in Basra yesterday, as British forces turned their attention to restoring order in Iraq's second-largest city but were unable to quell heavy looting on the streets.

Meanwhile, further north, US forces were tightening their grip around Baghdad while facing criticism after assaults that killed three foreign journalists.

In Basra, young men cruised the streets in trucks, pick-ups and even bicycles, grabbing what they could - ceiling fans, mattresses, car seats, furniture, even slabs of wood.

Hordes of people also picked through the wreckage of universities and government buildings damaged by coalition bombing.

Let's call it like it is: They're not looting, they're revolting (and no, I don't mean they're unattractive). And the revolution is, in fact, being televised. Live. :-)
