Who'll Guard the Guards? - Hussein's elite "Republican Guards" are being kept out of Baghdad.

The Guards - the hard core of the Iraqi Army, and Hussein's Praetorian Guard, are apparently of dubious loyalty, and might even turn against Hussein (so says the Guardian).

Bad news for Hussein, good news for any American tankers rolling across the desert. In the First Gulf War, the Guards were the toughest opponents our troops faced.
