Hey you'd take one too if you were stuck out there all the time!
I doubt he had time to booby trap all his palaces... The guy was stupid he made i think it was 13 palaces and tons of monuments to himself!

Concerning the shower in Saddam's palace...this can't be true, because US troops are committing suicide at the gates of Baghdad!

Nicool-
Not even Stalin had the balls to represent himself with such an excessive amount of fanatic self-idolatry. It is revolting under any point of view.
There were not 13 but 80 palaces in the whole of Iraq, an offensive waste, an offense to men, women and children in a country with the population decimated by war and hunger from the year after the genocidal SOB came to power. An absolute criminal waste.
