Rumsfeld on looting in Iraq:
'Stuff happens'
"And while no one condones looting, on the other hand one can understand the pent-up feelings that may result from decades of repression and people who've had members of their family killed by that regime, for them to be taking their feelings out on that regime.""It is unfortunate that there was looting and damage done to the museum and we have offered rewards, as Secretary Rumsfeld has said, for individuals who may have taken items from the museum to bring those back," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said in Crawford, Texas, where President Bush is spending a long Easter break.
OH YEAH? WELL WHAT A COINCIDENCE, LOOK WHAT THIS MSNBC.COM STORY SAYS ABOUT THE 'LOOTING' in NOLA:
“To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it’s an opportunity to get back at society,” he said.A man walked down Canal Street with a pallet of food on his head. His wife, who refused to give her name, insisted they weren’t stealing from the nearby Winn-Dixie supermarket.
“It’s about survival right now,”BUSH ON 'LOOTING' IN NOLA:
"I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law during an emergency such as this, whether it be looting, or price-gouging at the gasoline pump or taking advantage of charitable giving, or insurance fraud," Mr Bush said in an interview on ABC's
HALEY BARBOUR:
"We're trying to deal with looters as ruthlessly as we can get our hands on them."
Lt. Gen. Steven Blum:

Iraqi's loot deadly explosives that kill our soldiers= "stuff happens"
Poor Americans who've been devastated by a horrible natural disaster, exacerbated by hundreds of times by their inept, incompetent government who left them for dead desperatly trying to survive:
"Shoot to kill"
The looting in Iraq didn't result in just the loss of important cultural artifacts, but also OVER 350 TONS of high explosives which have been killing our soldiers ever since the invasion and occupation!
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was told by Iraqi authorities that the explosives were taken after last year's invasion.

THEY EXCUSED THE IRAQI LOOTING WHICH RESULTED IN THE THEFT OF DEADLY WEAPONS WHICH KILL OUR TROOPS EVERY DAY!
