"This story won't die because there is a political agenda behind it."

The story won't die because that museum was very important. The loss is comparable to the entire Smithsonian being picked clean and all the records being trashed.

The Left will keep it alive, not because they give a damn about ancient artifacts, but because it is the one bad aspect of the war they can exploit. They can use it against the President and the U.S. military they hate so much. If our troops had shot and killed some looters, the Left would be screaming bloody murder. They would be calling them war criminals; racists who don't value the lives of "Third World People of Color." They would be saying, "People, over property!" That we killed people in order to protect the valuable property in the museum.
