Churchill reputedly once said this was the sort of person who gave pedastry a bad name. Well, this is the sort of person who gives liberals a bad name. Why would any American, Republican, Democrat or faggot suppose that the Iraqi response to freedom would be to loot their national patrimony? Why would or should we care if they did? These people are proving over and over in the twentieth and twenty-first century that they are ensconced in about the 12th century. Not our fault. Not our concern. Stupid is as stupid does, and the Arabs certainly have copyrighted the text on stupid. As to the artifacts, the sooner they are exported, the better. We have nice museums here which are pleasant to visit, easily accessible, and all. Hope this post inflames some bleeding hearts.

What is it with these blithering, blathering, bleeding heart, loser libs? If they were so damned worried about these cultural treasures, then maybe they should have gotten up off THEIR collective rear-ends and seen they were protected. WHAT are they going to find to carp about next week? They keep coming up with issues hoping one will fan the flame of outrage. But, for every looter ransacking -history as we knew it- in Baghdad, an example can be found of a nearby locale where some priceless archeological find was wiped out because they needed to flood an area before it was properly excavated, or it was ransacked by uppercrust museum "curators"...etc...

When news came about the Baghdad Zoo who immediately came to the rescue with funds from their own pockets to feed the remaining animals? That would be coalition troops, and coalition countries rushing aid, including vets, medicines, etc., etc.

Story after story about the valuable artifacts being protected PRIOR to a possible conflict appeared some months ago. Therefore, either these items were properly protected and this propaganda has a more conspiratorial leaning than we have yet to consider, or this is unknown bait for an unknown quarry.

However, it is not our job, our responsibility, or our fault, if this really happened, still, DESPITE the endless whining of the lib cry babies, our nation's leaders step up to the plate to offer rewards, expertise, and any other helpful venue to help retrieve these artifacts (which supposedly were so valuable, no plan was made for their protection even after the previous Gulf war????)

My question is this....what's the REAL agenda here, and who is making all of this up? Time to call up the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew for "The Mystery of the Baghdad Booty".....or, should we go with a sequel to "Ali Babba"?
