I guess their only crime was that they were in the wrong geographical location.

If they were in Baghdad they'd be home free.

attention:...the definition of "looting" shall not be construed with "liberation of Iraq"....that is all.

1. HE said something about freedom being messy
I dont' know if he used that exact phrase, but he clearly has a blase attitude about it when it went on over there.

3. Those ancient treasures were, I strongly believe, part of the agenda.
Who else but wealthy Republican donors could buy them?

4. Even the infamous 'toppled statue' of Hussein was bought by
one of them.

Dallas' own Harlan Crow.

Told me he was going to wait "until the situation cooled down" to bring it back.

Well, guess what, Harlan? Wait about 50 years.
