Hi Nadine,
There seems to be some pride and honor in Republican Guard forces that keep them plugging away in traditional military fashion against a far superior force. Breaking Medina may be enough to cause the implosion as the rest realize in the words of the Borg(star trek) that Resistance is Futile. These are not brain dead zombies like the last german defenders of berlin might have been or Russians defending stalingrad from folks who were sworn to kill them. These folks are defending their country against a nation who always tries to improve the lot of those they conquer and thats a far different scenario. Mike

The silver lining to having to fight the RG is that we will kill a lot of guys who need killing if we hope to rebuild Iraq on a better model.

And also the guys running at our troops in mini-pickups with AK47s. I loved the incident where a Bradley didn't bother to return fire, just ran over and crushed a truck full of them. "Bambi meets Godzilla!"
