Oh you want to pat yourself on the back because you think you saw through yet another media plot. Please. You guessed and got lucky.
Anyway where you are going wrong is that you think those of us here who were upset about the looting "have faith in all things bad about America." That is just totally untrue. I am a conservative. I am not a blame America firster. I do think that at first, the media really did believe that the museum looting was very extensive and serious. That is what the media was told by the affected parties. And that being the case they had an obligation to report on it. People who were already against the war were very angry that the military seemed not to care about the looting. People who were always FOR the war, like me, were also angry that the military seemed not to care about the looting. Actually the military didn't care about the looting UNITL a worldwide outcry went up. Then they got on the stick and sent an investigator.
The above link comes from Drudge and speaks to the REAL potential saving grace for the newly liberated Iraqi people. Any thinking person knows the Iraqi oil exports are the single sole bailout for an economy ravaged by 30 years of a brutal thieving dictatorship.
As to your comments about the looting which you state that the military was not concerned with, I would offer this. Contemplate the assault on a city the size of LA, with various Ministries necessary for either destruction or occupation. Health, hospitals, defense, local and regional police offices, Baath Party Headquarters (several), munitions storage and dumps, missile, artillery, tank and APC emplacements, leadership bunkers, banks, troop concentrations, electricity infrastructure, water facilitiees, food storage, numerous palaces, Baghdad Airport, fuel storage facilites, Ministry of Oil & Gas, just to name a few.
Now contemplate that city of 6 million residents with probably a minimum of several hundred thousand males armed with AK-47s, hand grenades, rocket propelled grenades and even more powerful weapons, most of whom initially sought to kill American military personnel, and you might begin to understand why the Museum was not of premier importance. Give me and our wonderful military a break. Reports are now the "looting of artifacts" happened prior to our entry into Baghdad, so your arguments are largely specious, and particularly ridiculous given the magnitutde of the tactical situation faced by our Commanders on the ground whose troops you ask to do the guarding of the artifacts.
I think they were a little busy at the time.
