Ruh Oh!
AFP reports German embassy, French cultural centre in Baghdad sacked by looters:
The German embassy and the French cultural centre in Baghdad were sacked by looters Thursday, an AFP photographer witnessed.

The embassy in Karada Street and the cultural centre in Abu Nawwas Street, both in central Baghdad, were entered by dozens of people who set about seizing everything they could find.

The looters, including whole families, poured into the central courtyard of the embassy shortly after midday (0800 GMT), coming in cars and even on horseback.

They took away furniture, refrigerators, video machines and even the strip lighting.
Don't worry, I'm sure the Euroweenies will tack it on the bottom of the tab for armaments.
