Glad the boys at the Pentagon aren't the same people who flippantly speak of nuking the region.

Anyone want to guess where some of the WMD is stored?

I agree we should avoid destroying these places if we can. But that doesn't mean we don't capture them and search them thoroughly.

Contrast this with the Taliban's destruction of ancient treasures in Afghanistan.

There isn't a hill anywhere in Iraq where a tank couldn't roll over and crush some really important buried site that we've never had a chance to explore," said McGuire Gibson of the University of Chicago, who is widely known as the leading American archaeologist working in Iraq. Oh, well, let's just go home then.

Was there an outcry when SH dug up those sites for his bunkers?

Nineveh was actually the Assyrian capitol for only about a hundred years, but it has been settled since antiquity. The problem is its proximity to Mosul and the oil there. Glad to see that somebody is taking this stuff into account, and it is priceless...but more priceless still is the life of a single coalition soldier.
