This is a chandelier in the Al Faw palace rotunda
Many people have asked me why I am stationed in a palace complex. Well, its not because we are a conquering army enjoying the spoils of war. Good ole’ Saddam wasn’t that popular with his people. He was a member of the minority Sunni population and had a bad habit of conducting genocide. So, as a result, all of his palace complexes and government facilities are well fortified against insurrection. The collation has moved into these places simply because they are the most secure places in the country. The international zone down town is a similarly fortified position.
Of course, the international airport is also under collation control and it is nowhere as nice as a palace complex.
