VIctory over America Palace

This is what's left from the Victory over America Palace. Rob went on one last palace tour right before he left. Saddam started building this palace when the US forces left after Desert Storm. He felt since he was still in power after we left that he won. He wasn't quite finished building this palace when Pres. Bush gave him 48 hrs to surrender. When that didn't happen, we bombed this palace. Again, this is what's left.

Everything was made from marble.
