  the place really is a mess, but i think i would do anything to save the saveable! hope they really don't tear the place down!

  the place really IS incredibly structurally unsound. and it's not like there aren't 90 or so OTHER palaces. there we entire sections of the building, for instance, being held up by nothing more than the stairwell - and this wasn't a western design where that stairwell was a load bearing member

  In other words, sneeze and the whole building falls down. Pretty scary.

  I think it was that way when it hadnt been blown up. The Iraqi engineers probably rivaled Cold War Russian enginering. Maybe a little worse.

  i totally disagree, ive done demolition for a long time and the stuff your showing is heavily fortified and way above the standard we have here in north america. If we were to attack an equivallent building in north america with similar quaitites of munitions you probably wouldnt be able to walk through it, it would most likely be rubble on the ground..not still standing. the proof is in the pictures.

  Where's the light coming from?

  that's sunlight streaming through the large numbers of holes various US munitions poked through the walls/ceiling

  Much of this building has actually been restored, and will be returned to the Iraqi Dept of State in about a month.
