View of Amman, after take-off

View of Baghdad, upon approach.

Another.

And another.

Standing in front of the Presidential Palace, also known as the Republican Palace.

The Big white tents on the left are my temporary places of residence.

Looking west from the South Palace Gate.

Looking north, towards Haifa Street.

The Presidential Palace Command Bunker--

This is your command bunker, this command bunker on a JDAM bomb.

Haifa Street-- looking north towards my security compound.

Another look.

And another.

My temporary office, shared with the other Medic and one of the training officers, w/ my desk in the back right.

The Palace room, w/ the free phones and internet for the troops.  With the painting of the Iraqi missiles in the background, pointing at the actual, physical location of Israel.
