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

The L.A. Times had another story today that reported that antiquities dealers were contacted BEFORE the war started about their interest in backroom Iraq antiquities trading. Indicated that 2000 antiquities were reported looted in the FIRST Gulf War, and only 2 recovered. Implied that most things were sold off before this war started.

Same paper, different stories.

Damn, if the L. A. Times is reporting this, it's gotta be true...I'm serious here---this makes Bush look good, and they would hardly lie to make Bush look good....
