Saddam Smack!

There are very few Saddam portraits or murals left. These vainglorious images have been erased or defaced by the local populace as well as the Coalition Forces.

This one was obviously smacked up by a Texan! I never have liked taggers but in this case it is warranted.

See the crossed swords

These swords are really a metal sculpture and are made from the melted Iranian helmets captured in the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980's. That is another of Saddams aggressions that everyone has forgotten about. He picked a fight that cost a few hundred thousand lives that time.

I took this photo from a Black Hawk on a cold and grimy day.
