I saw this in the news yesterday. Here's my reaction @Twitter:
"Ur point? US put a military base on top of Babylon & soldiers stood down BY ORDER as looters pillaged national museum @ReutersVideo @Reuters"
The looters were Pro-Fessionals too according to the National museum's coordinator. They took the real items and left the Faux.
So I'll ask the same here. Your point is?
Here's a tentative answer:
The US and it's satraps hate competition.
Ps. It took YEARS before the west showed any interest at all in the recovery of the stolen artifacts. PLENTY of time for those professionals to deliver to collectors in AFFLUENT WESTERN COUNTRIES, and I don't read much about anything recovered from those "collectors in AFFLUENT WESTERN COUNTRIES". Occasionally some refugee gets busted but not even that's occurring with any regularity. I think, since the beginning of our endless war, I MAY HAVE SEEN two or three news items about the recovery of stolen items.
The hypocrisy here is profound, and besides, doesn't ISIS still work for us? al-Nusra did (the Libyans we hired to work over Syria)
"I said we should arm the (Syrian) rebels, but I admit they were allied with Al-Qaeda all along” — Robert Ford, Former US ambassador to Syria
...and the Baathists CERTAINLY were a western front party (Adam Curtis @ BBC spilled that for everyone) so I think the onus is on the accusers. Period.
"...a “systematic strategy to remove them permanently” from large parts of the country"
As the article below by Chris Hedges says quite plainly "ISIS... tne new Israel"
