Today I went and visited the Bath(not sure of the spelling. Party house. This was where we saw Sadamn sitting behind a large circular board room type table before the war. Numerous interviews were done from this table. There were many bathrooms as this man had issue with his hands apparently. After greetings or just a compulsion he had to wash his hands all of the time. As we walked through the literal Ruins of this building I was reminded of a phrase coined by “Steve Erkle” with a Slight change to it…….”DID WE DO THAT?”.Damn right we did and now his people are benefiting from it. The place was not well built and it was evident, but then again what building would stand up to the bombs that hit it. Through the holes in the walls you could see the poor craftsmanship. It looked almost as if they made the inside marble walls and then poured cement down in between them. Not to mention broken bricks and such. If this man would have had a brain he would have been dangerous. The money spent in these monstrous structures was money well wasted…. He could have spent the money on better the society and lives of his people. He could still be in power with a people who would have defended him to the death. Instead he was a hidden man as given the chance his people would surely kill him. Body doubles and hidden passages and tunnels to get him from point A to B.
The structure had tall walls and you could see at one time it was a beautiful place. From the floor the different rooms could be seen of course the destruction of the place was visible in all rooms. I cannot imagine being in the building when the bombs hit. The whole place shook the floors buckled the ceilings collapsed and some of Iraq’s most sadistic people died. There were false walls inside that hid rooms from everyone. Some of them were still in tact. I wonder what he hid in these walls Money, people or just himself. From this building there were many tunnels under the water. You could actually walk under the water in a tunnel from one building to the next. Why? Why was this man compelled to spend all that money making these things? Fear……He was most definitely afraid of what his people would do to him without protection. After looking at the tunnels from the roof we went to one of his bunkers.
.The doors to the bunker were about a foot thick and there were several of them before we got to the inside. The bunker itself did not appear to me to be real safe. It was almost above ground. It was in a mound of dirt that was really visible but maybe not from the air. I just thought he was a rat when we came to get him but this man was a rat in more ways than one all of his life.
The guide said that there was a tunnel that led to the airport big enough to drive a truck through. That is crazy. I guess he had always planned for an invasion? Or maybe it was to protect him from his own people? I am glad that I did not grow up here live here and I pray to God that I do not die here. This place was a nightmare for his people, with the elections and liberation we have awakened a free people.
