Barryfromtexas Lots of good stuff here... just almost too much but all that is here is good. I was in Iraq for two years and I am familiar with looting incidents. Like as the troops rolled in, a lot of exotic animals were taken from the zoo in Baghdad by the locals, funny that they left the tigers and other vicous animals. Posted March 08, 2008
