Hugh Hewitt MEGA PING!!

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Fox had a crawl running tonight-UK experts on the antiquities,who visited the Museum, believed that it was full of fakes and that the real treasures were removed long ago by Saddam.Can't wait to see the libs faces, when they realize they have been tearing their garments, over paper mache knock offs!!

[lonewacko_dot_com]

"Of course, it is a loss that the museum was ransacked. But the freeing of the people of Iraq was well worth that cost."

I guess that's what's called a false choice, right?

"And had the diversion of troops to protect government buildings, including museums, cost an additional soldier's or Marine's life, that would have been too high a price to pay."

Except, that's what we're supposed to do under international law. And, that's what we said we were going to do when we avoided firing on mosques, shrines, etc. etc.

Rummmified- I love it!

[Billthedrill]

So there I am in my imagination, talking to a feller from ancient Ur about it and he turns and sez to me "Bill, you moron, they're children. Those are just pots. Get a grip."

It sounds worse in Sumerian, I can tell you...

[onedoug]

Quickly! Change the subject to art!

Some of these Liberals remind me of the "Dathan" character that Edward G. Robinson played in the Ten Comandments. You know, the one that kept trying to cause doubt and fear in the people so that they would turn against Moses and of course God. While the movie stretched things a bit, the Biblical Dathan did try to lead a revolt against Moses and his leadership which lead to Dathan's destruction.

Still the E.G. Robinson depiction reminds me the most regarding many of today's Liberal pundits and anti-christian bigots, in terms of their lying slanted opinions and exalted ego's!

Conservatives care about Iraqis living today. Leftists care about Iraqis from the time of Hammurabi.

[gracie1]

Well of course we protected the oil fields. Can you just hear the howls from the enviromentalists if the oil fields were set on fire like the last time? Not to mention the oil fields will be an important source of wealth for the Iraqi's. (Oh, I forgot, we're going to steal that oil!)

Not content to thank our lucky stars that things went so well, the leftists will nitpick this thing to death.

The American military is never supposed to triumph in a just cause.

I hope this victory stays wedged in their gapes for a long, long time.

Robert Scheer didn't have a problem with mayhem and looting in Los Angeles in 1992.

[hotpotato]

I posted this from artnews:

Problems of Sumerian art, looted and fake antiquities from Iraq(my title). "Look, it's a no-brainer because, unless you know for a fact this Sumerian piece has been in some English lord's collection for years, you can bet you're probably trading with Saddam Hussein and it's probably all stolen stuff with cooked-up, fake provenances. As a museum director, don't even bother with it, just hands off."

[Russell Scott]

Animals and inanimate objects are far more important to liberals than human lives.

The always amusing Robert Scheer, "columnist-fanatic" for the Los Angeles Times, never fails to grasp any straw that gives him a chance to rant about the Bush administration.

From www.robertscheer.com:

ROBERT SCHEER, a journalist with over 30 years experience, has built his reputation on the strength of his social and political writing. His columns appear in newspapers across the country, and his in-depth interviews have made headlines. As Scheer creates his weekly national and local columns, he draws upon a wealth of experience and knowledge. Between 1964 and 1969, he was Vietnam correspondent, managing editor and editor in chief of Ramparts magazine. From 1976 to 1993, he served as a national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, where he wrote articles on such diverse topics as the Soviet Union, arms control, national politics and the military. He is currently a contributing editor at The Times, as well as a contributing editor for The Nation magazine.   Scheer has interviewed every president from Richard Nixon on through Bill Clinton. He conducted the famous 1976 Playboy interview with Jimmy Carter, in which the then-presidential candidate admitted to have lusted in his heart...

What the "progressives" (AKA red-diaper babies) fail to note is that Iraq has proven to have been as brutal and monstrous as Germany, and again its people as complicit as the Germans.
Mostrous behavior on that scale is not possible without the direct complicity of thousands, and the tacit approval of millions.

How anyone can expect an "instant civilized" society under those circumstances?

[eureka!]

What I also found interesting was this tidbit on sales of Iraqi antiquities in 1996. Inside jobs for years is what we will find, IMHO...
