Saddam Hussein's Benz bought...Osama still on the run
Do you remember right after we illegally invaded Iraq in March of 2003 the looting of stores and museums began? Well, apparently, our soldiers were also 'stealing' stuff from Iraq at the same time! Okay, First Sgt. Willaim Von Zeal didn't actually steal Hussein's Mercedez Benz, but he did find the vehicle parked in one of the luxury neighborhood driveways there and cut a deal with an Iraqi to get it. It hasn't been verified if it is one of Hussein's vehicles or not (though Federal Customs agents in the US has seized it), but the thought of our soldiers in a war zone buying and stealing stuff makes my skin crawl. In fact, when the looting began, I went online and posted that I wouldn't be surprised if tons of American CEOs now have in their offices pieces of Iraqi history that was stolen from the Iraqi museums by our soldiers. Of course, the neocons in this country said that no American would do ever that. Uh huh. Well, now we know that some American soldiers were pilfering and not fighting like Bush and his Warpigs would like for us to believe (hey, by that point, the oil wells in Iraq had been captured and secured so no need to continue the 'war front' unless the American population needs to be reminded we're at war!). This could be why the insurgency tripled! With our soldiers pilfering and cutting deals with the locals to buy stuff, no one was watching what was really happening. That's my take on it. Oh yeah, and then there's the video of our soldiers filling up an above ground pool and swimming. War is so much more fun these days with the wealthiest Administration ever in the history of our nation running it. Interesting, our soldiers can find the good deals on the goods in Iraq, especially if they are Saddam Hussein's, but they have yet to find Osama. Good grief.
