My Trip to IRAQ

[mlakrid]

Well as promised, I have placed many of the pictures I took in my yahoo photo album. Simply look up my name here, as it is the same in Yahoo and it is in my photo album labeled Iraq!

Enjoy....

My Favorite pics are the ones of the HUGE Palace with the cranes by it. Saddam named it victory over America, and was having it built to symbloize his winning the war.

As you can see by the pictures his palace has many holes in it from missles, rockets and high powered bobms, the palace is so riddled with holes the Army labled it off limits/condemned as the structure is barely standing.

Hope you all enjoy!

What a waste of a structure when his people lived in such impoverished dwellings. A country rich in history and beauty, all shot to shiit.

Thanks man... Oh almost forgot, the smaller houses which I took pictures of were actually in the red zone, we had to sneak of base to take them.

I didnt know that at the time however.... a bit unnerving..

Glad your back safe, man. Great pics! Thanks for sharing them with us! Well, I guess we see where all the oil-for-food money was going, huh?

 

[chastity]

Well to me at least that goes to show where all of the oil money he got from selling the oil and then through the Oil for Food program. Well the important thing is your back.
