They call them the Martyr Battalions, diehard troops who are fighting Saddam Hussein's battles to the death. Here in Basra, in Umm Qasr to the south and on the road to Baghdad, allied forces are encountering Saddam's trump card in the battle for Iraq - fanatics who have vowed never to surrender. Ah.. the fly in the ointment.. And further proof of the adage that "no plan survives first contact with the enemy".. This is going to take longer than planned.. Possibly into May if we're going to avoid civilian casualities in the cities. But playing the same strategy that the Palestinians have played.. Putting children and women into the streets.. Shields from behind which their men can act as snipers.. Hawk@sleepinggaswouldbeappropriate
