"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.

Excuse me? Quote me the international law that says we're obligated to trade our soldiers' lives or anyone else's for antiquities, if you please?
Talk about a "false choice!"

Except, that's what we're supposed to do under international law. There's that brainless phrase again!
Mind telling us what it is, how it came about, who made the decisions, how the decisions were made, and whether there are two sides to every expressed expectation?
Think you can handle that, brainiac?
