Party on at Saddam's palace...

[bridgit]

'BAGHDAD - Tuesday night is karaoke night at Saddam Hussein's former Republican Palace in central Baghdad's fortified Green Zone.

To the beat of the music, Iraq's latest conquerors triumphantly take to a stage that dominates the inner courtyard of what is today the temporary US Embassy in Baghdad and bawl out old rock 'n' roll and blues anthems to their heart's content.

A few meters away, soldiers take off their shirts to play volleyball, State Department contractors have a party on the lawn, and bikini-clad embassy workers splash in the swimming pool. All an awe-struck British journalist gazing over the scene for the first time can do is absent-mindedly mumble, "It's Saigon all over again."' http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HE06Ak03.html

1. Saigon indeed

...and once the Iraqi governance folks get their heads outta their collective asses, the day will come when the US is booted out of Iraq, and these properties will be seized again, this time by the countrymen who really own them.

Shame on Bush, Bremer, and the rest of that conquest crew...a pox on all of their houses!

We have no right. We've become thieves and burglars.
