Fashion Police - Republican Guard in Polo Shirts . .. "Last night it was revealed the Special Republican Guard have craftily disguised themselves as CIVILIANS — holing up in private Baghdad homes ready for guerilla war. Refugee Guma Adam, a Sudanese hairdresser who lived in Baghdad for 15 years, said in Jordan: “They are hiding themselves in civilian houses. They’ve changed their clothes, but really they are soldiers. They are hiding with guns.” An Iraqi revealed others had donned casual gear to guard key installations.
