Go You Hairy Dogs
Tuesday, April 08, 2003   By: Juan Paxety

Bulldawgs take Saddam's palace.

Captain Chris Carter, a University of Georgia graduate, unfurled his UGA flag outside one of Saddam's palaces in Baghdad on Monday. Video of Carter was broadcast on the Fox News Channel.

 

The Athens Banner-Herald reports Carter's parents are quite proud:

 

   ''I thought that was just like Chris - an avid Bulldog fan,'' said his father, Michael Carter. ''...And great publicity for the 'Dogs.''

Carter's parents say the second man unfurling the flag is Col. David Perkins, also a UGA grad.

Carter, 31, graduated from Oconee High School before attending UGA. He commands A Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment.

Can he coach basketball?

A Paxety Pages Update - I would appear from this AP story that Capt. Carter was later involved in liberating Saddam's love shack.
