I find this point and the lack of analysis about this point curious. So as a relatively small battle with a 120 RepubGuards is considered pivotal it may be that the Regime has already been decapitated.

Good point. It is morning in Baghdad, that guy should be having a press conference, lauding the magnificent counter attack that they are mounting. Of course, anyone watching it will realize that the Iraqi forces are slowly being obliterated...

Hah! What do you know, just announced, that guy is going to hold a press conference any minute now :)

Well he's back and givin' us the straight skinny. I hope the Chinese reporters get to ask questions.
