its all over the newssites on the internet. usatoday, cnn, msnbc, washpost........you figure when iraq fell, lots of the republican guards left and went back into hiding among the civilian population. Only now are they fighting and hiding.. Why be sitting ducks for the air power of the US to drop bombs onthem left/right. Better to disguise and blend in with the civies and fight the war on their terms, not the US terms.
