Maybe we can film an episode of "While You Were Out" with TLC. Let some of Saddam's friends can work with the host decorators for a palace make over. He'll be stunned.

I see a new location shoot for Trading Spaces.

I mentioned on another thread that I hoped our troops discovered Saddam's hidden stash of Cuban cigars. You know, the stogies that were given to him by his good pal Castro as a victory gift.

I'd love a shot of one of our boys smokin cigars in the palace. That would really drive the PC lefties nuts...

There were also audio cassettes of the Quran and of Egyptian pop music.

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

Ap reporters don't understand the difference between a grill and as bar b que. He had a grill.

[NautiNurse]

Our men look quite comfortable there...

Saddam's House....in the middle of the street
Saddam's House....toilets with a golden seat

``I do believe this city is freakin' ours,'' boasted Capt. Chris Carter of Watkinsville, Ga.

From the title, I thought this was sure to be an Ann Coulter column.

setting up a prisoner of war collection point in the palace compound

The irony is deliciously satisfying...having aspired to the ranks of Lieutenent...these scum will finally get to see the palace...shackled and desheveled...

[Thinkin' Gal]

>>>The main building, of sand-colored brick, is topped with a dome of blue-and-gold ceramic tile, now covered with cement dust. There are two huge holes in the roof and the front of the building from U.S. cruise missiles or laser-guided bombs in the past; the blasts knocked off the facade, collapsed floors and scorched walls.

Where fire had not destroyed the interior, plaster trimming and false ceiling had collapsed. Shards of hundreds of glass chandeliers and mirrors lay on the ground, crunching under the boots of American soldiers.

On the top floor, there once was an indoor pool, with windows looking out on three sides of the building. What was left of an elaborate, mosaic ceiling littered what was left of the bottom of the pool - the water drained into basement and first floors, which were flooded.

Much of the building seemed like an empty hotel, never occupied. <<<

Wow, remember that dream? Who's going to be in charge of the renovation?!

Saddam's Palace Has No Homey Ambiance

Weapons storage facilities seldom do.

[Savage Beast]

The homes of psychopaths tend to be devoid of human warmth and ambiance. They seem to see little difference between plastic plants and living ones, between cold concrete and things that speak of chi and humanity.

[mombonn]

you could almost say it was idyllic.

The gardens were lovely, so were the floors and woodwork, etc. Hope he enjoyed his idyllic existence while here on earth, the rest of his eternity won't be so pleasant.

Third week of the Washington Post and New York Times quagmire.

Took 44 days of non stop bombing in '91 to push 'em from Kuwait to other side of the border!

This time in just 18 days we have United States Marines smoking cigars at Saddam's on the Tigris in Baghdad!!
