of my Aide and I in front of the Baghdad Intl. Airport. We spent a few days
there, then we moved to a palace between the airport and Baghdad proper.
The Palace was incredible, it's the same one you read about or seen on Fox
news or CNN with GEN Franks. Marble as far as the eye can see, and
everything was gold plated. I can honestly say I slept in one of Saddams'
beds, and took a dump on one of his gold plated toilets! (Plugged it up
proper, too!) It was very frustrating in a way, because the palace and
grounds has to be worth at least 50 million, and there are dozens of these
palaces all over Iraq; and every last one was paid for by food for by oil
for food money. I'll write more later. PS Dar, got another box, was great,
and another one passed me at 20,000 feet going the other way as I flew back
into Kuwait. They sent it up to me before they found out that I was coming
back to Ku. for a while.
