Talking Saddam's Palace

I've been laughing about this all day - this is a picture taken from inside Saddam's #2 palace in Baghdad (the one we recently took).

Something tells me that the guy kicking back in the chair is going to get famous from that picture. Talk about a picture that says a thousand words...we didn't just raid Saddam Hussein's palace, we took our lunch break there!
Hehehehe.

Saddam's Palace

I got a kick out of the Iraqi info minister denying the presence of troops in Bagdad on the left screen, and the U.S. Tanks at the parade ground on the right screen (late Sunday night MST) . The tank commander was aware of the minister's interveiw and statements. Suddenly the sounds of (U.S.) Tanks could be heard firing just beyond the fog (reporter asks..., commander responds "those are ours"). The Info minister was within a mile or less, according to reports, and rather quickly cut short his barage and ducked back into the hotel.

Saddam's Palace

how embarrassing to have your PALACE overrun because your own military is vanishing like a fart in the wind.

but to add salt to the open wound, youve got this hardcore soldier just hanging out in your furniture, in the most leasurely, inconcernced and relaxed pose in war photo history.

Our fighting men deserve nothing but the best. And by gum they're getting it; a hot shower,courtesy the previous tenant, sattelite TV tuned to CNN, take a dump in a gold toilet, linen TP. a comfy bed to rack out in, probably with recently chanced sheets, and maybe an in progress Missle Command game on the Nintendo. And Saddam gets 4 Bunker Busters dropped in his lap during the after dinner drink. Does it get any better than this?

I'm seeing empty palaces. That tells me that Saddam knew what the outcome was going to be, had his stuff shipped to France. I'd bet the movers knew also.

Didn't Marcos have cases of solid gold moved out of the Philippines?

Kicking back in Hussein's grand palace, smoking his cigars, drinking his scotch, and playing Missle Command on his old school Nintendo we sold him back in 1988...
That's my dream vacation.
Oh, and I want several French Maids, and a German butler and limousine driver...Also, bring me several American war protesters to wash my car and clean the sand out of my swamp cooler...
