One of the Palaces in Baghdad…never completed / -May 2007, Baghdad, Iraq
Well used,Plenty of hanging space.
Saddam Hussein’s playground for children. / This photo is located in one of Saddam’s palace compounds in Baghdad. It was looted and marked with graffiti after the invasion, so I never saw it in all it’s glory! Very Guadi-esque. / The palace under construction in the background is the “Victoria over America palace”. It was never finished. / This is possibly the most ironic place I have been in my life.
KURDISH REFUGEES IN THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN IRAQ AND TURKEY TOWARD THE END OF THE GULF WAR 1991 DIGITAL ART FROM MONOCHROME ORIGINAL
TAKEN IN THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN IRAQ AND TURKEY TOWARD THE END OF THE GULF WAR THIS NOBLE KURDISH LADY WAS AMONG THE REFUGEES FLEEING THE WAR. THE INNOCENT ALWAYS SUFFER.
I served in the Australian military for 11 years and still have quite a few friends stationed overseas. Receiving packages from home is an incredible morale lift when you’re away, so we regularly send “care packs” over full of vegemite, decent coffee, magazines and such. One of my friends who has been stationed in Afghanistan for months sent us a box of “goodies” a little while ago. Amongst the gifts were a few old Iraqi notes, complete with Saddam’s portrait.

IN THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN IRAQ AND TURKEY KURDISH REFUGEES ESCAPE THE WAR AND SADDAM
A bit old hat now it may be to some ones taste.
At Saddam’s Presidential Palace in Baghdad a gigantic bust of Saddam Hussein stands at the entrance. It’s height is 50-foot, and dwarfs the bench and Iraqi woman. Four busts stood at each corner of the palace roof and were removed by Coalition Forces in December 2003. The Presidential Palace has 142 offices, 64 bathrooms, 19 meeting rooms, 22 kitchens, 5 ballrooms, one football-field-sized master ballroom, a basement movie theatre, and countless bedrooms.

Well, they are gunning for Iran. A country that has not waged war on another since… erm… since god only knows when. But they did have their democratically elected leader assassinated by the US and replaced by a religious dictatorship… and they have been attacked by the US & Iraq, where the Reagan regime backed Saddam and provided him with chemical weapons to use of Iranian civilians and Iraqi Kurds and Marsh Arabs… though complicit Donald Rumsfeld never got hanged along with the Iraqi guilty for this crime. No, I’m thinking of another target. I know of these people who like Kuwait got invaded by a hostile and murderous mob. But worse than Kuwait these people were nearly wiped out, had their land stolen and tricked off them, they were rounded up into death camps where they still are today. These people need liberating far more than the people of Iran who are laregly happy with their lot though they think Ahmedinjad is a stupid w**r, but America ruined its democracy so they have to put up with such idiots… It’s time we liberated people like the Lakota, Dakota and Cheyenne from their concentrations camps where their average age is mid forties and where they have the highest suicide rates in the West. So, how about the ‘War on Terrorism’ begins at home? End the concentration camps? The Ghettos? The Underclasses? And we can stop sponsoring the murderous Israel, oppressive Egypt, al-Qaeda Central a.k.a. Pakistan, civilian killing Indonesia, various dictatorial brutal Central Asian countries, various brutal African regimes. Establish trade embargoes on China and our bestest buddies women-hating dictators Saudi Arabia. I can but dream…
Saddam Hussein and the American POW’s that he captured.

AN OLD MAN CARRIES AN OLD WOMAN OVER THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN IRAQ AND TURKEY ESCAPING FROM SADAMM HUSSEIN AND THE GULF WAR.
The light of the sunset adds a golden glow to the western facade of Saddam’s palace at Babylon. I took this image with my very first digital camera, a Sony CyberShot DSC-P71. I regret the low resolution but I was running out of space on my memory stick and I was a long way from anywhere to dump it to a computer. 1/200 sec at f/5.6 © R. Mike Jacobson – All Rights reserved
