And once again the Iraqi people are helping us.

Even though we trashed their museum.

WE didn't trash it, other Iraqis did. They are seeing $$$ signs.

WE trashed their museum?

Evidence?

Of a single American looting the museum?

What a lie! - Who's side are you on? - Huh? - Who's?

I have looked at your posts, and now see from your other history that perhaps your post was just sarcasm. Strange sarcasm, because it still works against us, but at least I think I get it. Sorry for the flame.

Need more coffee.

"Even though we trashed their museum."

WE did not 'trash' their museum, the Iraqis did that themselves. Please don't start that 'if we can spare soldiers to protect hospitals, we can surely spare a few to protect a museum' crap on this thread, which is about POWS.

You've got a problem with what the Iraqis did to their museum? Take it to the UN. That's what all the whining is about after all: creating an excuse to bring un the mighty UN to 'restore order'. I still have sincere doubts that Saddam's girl curator was telling anything close to the truth about the contents stolen. Her statements sounded too much like an Iraqi weapons declaration.

That remains to be seen. It was looted, but what was there at the time? From a March 27th article: "The staff is now living in the museum to prevent potential plundering and has been trained to transport artifacts filling thirty-two exhibition rooms to secret locations in just one day." Could well have been an inside job.

In any case, it wasn't us trashing their museum, looting is inevitable in a situation like this.
