Title: Question for The Lurkers
Post by: txradioguy on March 11, 2015, 12:41:29 PM

A quick Google search brings back pages of links to articles critical of President Bush for not stopping or preventing the looting of national/historical artifacts and ransacking museums in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq after Saddam went underground.

I just wanna know where's the outrage now?  Where are the calls for the President to intervene and stop this?

ISIS assault on civilization targets relics once saved from looters


"ISIS is destroying the heritage of mankind," said Jaafar, who came from Iraq to the U.S. in 2008 and worked for the Iraqi Cultural Center in northern Virginia. "These pieces -- more than 3,000 years old -- are gone forever. They can never be replaced."

The latest target of the Islamic State is Hatra, a 2,000-year-old city and archaeological site in northern Iraq that had parts demolished by ISIS militants last week, according to Kurdish officials. The terrorists damaged and looted the city one day after bulldozing the historic city of Nimrud.

Same place as their outrage over flag-draped coffins.
