[Yep. they probably couldn't believe their luck at finding these sites undefended for so long!] "I don't think luck had anything to do with this. Don't you find it odd that these "looters" knew EXACTLY where to go to find this equipment?" No, it's not odd. They probably had EXCELLENT inside information about exactly what was where, and how valuable it was. (From the many people who worked at these facilities.) [Yep. I'm sure there would be plenty of demand in the region --- and perhaps other parts of the world --- for such stuff.] "I have a hard time believing that these "looters" took all of this equipment with the sole purpose of having a garage sale. No, I think there is more to this story..." Money is ALWAYS a good choice for a motivational factor! "Diz- PS: I think this story is very damaging to the "Bush lied" crowd." I think it's much more damaging to anyone who would be foolish enough to argue that --- AFTER discarding 3 years of planning work for the occupation, put together by hundreds of our best Iraqi experts & professionals from the Pentagon and State Department... and going instead with a 'rosy view' Chalabi & NeoCon inspired replacement plan for the occupation, put together at the last minute --- the occupation plan they used wasn't botched seriously.
