I love my Iran patch (see last picture)

Try and guess what this is...

A Bat cave built by Saddam. There are actually a ton of bats here.

Im pretty sure their going to make me take this off my Helmet. Because we are now a P.C. Military...

"Flinstone Village"

This is the "Flinstone Village"... Built for the Saddam family children. It is huge, the pictures do it no justice. Made of solid concrete, with an elevator.

Starting to NOT be Hot in Iraq....

This was going to be the "Victory Over America Palace"... That is before we blew it up while it was being built. Saddam apparently believed that America lost the first invasion of Iraq. Who knew?
This is the Perfume Palace. Where Saddam and his sons kept their endless number of girlfriends and wives. So the story goes...
Funny little sign we found randomly on a wall.


This use to be an Iraqi tank. We blew it up. Put concertina wire around it, left it as it was, so people can go look at what an M1A1 Abrams tank does to old soviet tank.

More Palace pics.

This is just cool. Its Huge, like 20ft across. This is a picture of it from the balcony of the 3rd floor.


Slightly smaller. This one hangs in one of the dining rooms.


The front porch of the Palace.

The front door of the Palace. Compare the door to the Soldier in the picture. Ridiculous.



These are the bunkers that they have everywhere just in case we get attacked.
This one is just outside the palace.
