Yes, I like that--
"We had no idea that the museums would be looted!" sayeth the US forces...
even after repeated requests and warnings from the curators...

"
"I don't think anyone anticipated that the riches of Iraq would be looted by
the Iraqi people. And indeed it happened in some places" including the
National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad, he told reporters at U.S. Central
Command in Doha, Qatar
"
Is like LA all over again--"I didn't think all those nice people would loot
and destroy all those shops and set fire to the streets after the RK verdict!"
Here's a clue--Learn something from history folks--that's what it's there for.
