Once again, astonishing pictures. The palaces are amazing inspite of the damage to parts of them. Wish I could afford SH's interior decorator....

As for the people looting...as bad as looting is in reality, I can understand why these people would do it...SH has luxury beyond compare and these poor people were lucky to have a decent chair or bed let alone sinks with gold fittings...

The Ba'ath members with their faces covered - brings to mind the protesters at Indymedia site! Brothers?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the photos. They're awesome.

Here the hero has the plane upside down. The plane was lost, the hero was reportedly retrieved.

I feel bad about losing the A-10, but we can build more of those. I'm sure glad we got the pilot back.

Thank you. Please be sure to ping me to any future threads with these photos.

Is it me or does the picture of two missiles remind anyone of Madonna's bra?

[PhilDragoo]

Your continued harvest of inspiring photos is a unique treasure.

The major propaganda outlets are as anti-American, anti-coalition and demented as the rabid ravings of Baghdad Bob.

If you ever need to get rid of any old T-72 tanks you might have around the house, be advised that 24 pounds of C4 will pretty well do it.

Basra looks no worse than downtown LA the last time we had a riot - and these people actually have a reason.

BTW, gotta love that state of the art c. 1965 rotary dial red telephone at Saddam's bedside. "Get me Premier Kissoff on the hotline!"

[Guillermo]

Bump!

[Northern Yankee]

PING!

Incredible Pictures.

So damned proud of what our men and women of the Armed Forces have done!

[SuziQ]

Some Brits finally got a chance to shower

Woo Hoo nekkid men! LOL! I had to laugh at their pastey white butts!

[Rightly Biased]

IF I knew how to do an anti-media bump I'd do one for you DIO. But I don't.

So here is a bump for FREEDOM and HEROES

[apackof2]

I LOVE these pictures

The look of pure joy on the faces of liberated Iraqi children is wonderful to see

[visualops]

BUMP FOR FREEDOM!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks Diogenesis for more wonderful pictures that the media can't seem to find. Thanks Linda for the guide.

[jhw61]

Great pics as usual....really they do take my breath away.

For once in my life...I was happy to see people loot. They deserve anything they can find. Living atrociously by the hands of a ruthless dictator!

The Brits showering....a nice extra pic. These are the butts that are kicking butt and proudly liberating Iraqis.

[Samwise]

Most excellent! Thank you.

[mjaneangels@aolcom]

Great job as always Dio, but can I make a small suggestion?

I noticed this caption: "In Basra, Saddam's Basra presidential palace."

Would you give consideration to renaming a caption like this something along the lines of Iraq's palace? and leave Saddam's name out of it?

Great job either way. I really appreciate what you are doing here.
