About fucking time.

U.S. soldiers were standing guard Wednesday at Iraq's National Museum, where widespread looting broke out after the fall of Baghdad last week.
On Wednesday morning, a CNN news team saw two U.S. tanks parked inside the museum courtyard and another at a side entrance. Three Humvees -- two with mounted machine guns -- arrived soon afterward.
Signs in Arabic warned, "Under American Protection."
Army 2nd Lt. Erik Balascik said the troops were deployed Wednesday morning to secure the museum.

A bit late, but nice to see the effort finally being made.
