Need a little help against a Freeper type.
He's saying the story about the Iraq oil ministry being guarded heavily is a lie.

Anyone know where an article proves it?

2. Well,
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 10:43 PM by susanna
When Bush got on the TV and told the great citizens of this country that we were going to war (and then pointedly warned the Iraqis to not torch the oil fields), I got a good glimpse on where our priorities would be. If someone needs a map, well, that I can't help with. I deal in (un)common sense.

I'm probably not helpful here. I apologize.

(Kudos to skittles. Where is his proof?)

4. google it for news stories about the looting
It was well documented that during the looting, the DoD had made sure troops were guarding the oil ministry, but not guarding many other important locations.
Perhaps if one could find a story about the museum heist, because a lot of articles about that mentioned that the museum was unguarded but the oil ministry was secured.
