Note to Chiefs of Staff: Prior to any military engagement, secure all archeological dig sites, museums, centers and articles of haute coiture, utilities, food supply channels... what have I forgotten, WMD sites?
If there are any, yes, certainly worth securing.
Also well-known sites like the Tuwaitha nuclear plant:
"We had to find something to bring water," said one of the men, Idris Saddoun, 23.
They say they broke into the warehouse, emptied hundreds of barrels of their yellow and brown mud, took them to the wells and canals and filled them with water for cooking, bathing and drinking.
For nearly three weeks, hundreds of villagers who live in the shadow of the high earthen berm and barbed wire fences that surrounded the labyrinth of the Iraqi nuclear program here bathed in and ingested water laced with radioactive contaminants from the barrels.
The barrels, Iraqi and foreign experts say, had held uranium ores, low-enriched uranium "yellowcake," nuclear sludge and other byproducts of Mr. Hussein's nuclear research. ...
Tuwaitha has been the most conspicuous element of Iraq's nuclear research program since its inception in the 1970's.
