Would love a picture of our guys in the Palace with the title "US Inspectors Relax at the Palace".

All ya gotta do is ask: From the New York Daily News

(That's a cigar in the soldier's hand). Here's an excerpt from the accompanying story. "The U.S. soldiers made themselves right at home in Saddam's sumptuous house. They used the toilets in his many spacious bathrooms — the first indoor plumbing many had seen in weeks — flipped through documents and helped themselves to souvenir ashtrays, pillows, gold-painted glassware and boxes of Saddam's personal stationery. Bulky in their battle gear, they sprawled on the delicate cream-colored chaises longues in Saddam's ornate reception rooms. They even watched a little TV, plugging one of the dozens of television sets into a portable generator and snickering at a state-run broadcast."
