Where Did All the Soldiers Go?

April 09, 2003
Baghdad supposedly was packed with members of the Special Republican Guard and Fedayeen, as well as remnants of Republican Guard units from the south and regular army reinforcements from the north. They largely turned up missing when U.S. troops arrived. The question is: Did U.S. troops meet the rear guard, or the last remnants of a shattered regime in Baghdad?

Saddam's Fedayeen was and is the insurgent force Rumsfeld refused to recognize and deal with early in the Iraq war in 2003. We are paying for it in lives and money. Innocent Iraqis are paying for it with their lives and loss of control of their country.
