If anyone is mad, blame the Iraqi looters for their lawlessness *not* the US troops for not doing a job they are untained for- the troops are too busy taking fire and getting shot at, *still*, in baghdad.

At the same time "I am deeply saddened" by the excessive looting. It mars the liberation and will hurt the reconstruction of the city.

[Prince Hal]

The REAL blame is with the looters (the wrong word to use, they were probably "professional" art thieves). Perhaps more should have been done by American troops, but as far as we know, no one forced "looters" to raid the museum.

This will be one of many reasons the left will use to claim the war was a failure.
