File:Blackwater Little Bird over Republican Palace, Baghdad.jpg
Summary
US State Department contract security (Blackwater) helicopter over Republican Palace, and heroic bust of Saddam, International (Green) Zone, Baghdad, Iraq.
Saddam Hussein's office was located in the domed Presidential Palace, or Republican Palace, which overlooks the Tigris River. The palace, measuring some 1.7 square miles according to the UN, was surrounded by Republican Guard camps and apartment blocks for Hussein's senior Ba'ath Party aparachiks. Renovation and addition to the Palace in the late 1990s tripled the size of the complex.
Paul Bremer had his headquarters inside the Republican Palace, housing an American bureaucracy with over 1,000 American State Department staffers.
In early December 2003 Iraqi contractors removed the Saddam Hussein busts from the Presidential Palace.
