I have no doubt that surrender terms are being offered and mulled by the RG field commanders at this moment. The RG field commanders for all four units are probably weighing their options now. They HAVE to know that Saddam and sons Huey and Dooey are dead or gone to exile, but the cloak of fear, terror and dread that has covered every facet of their daily life - all Iraqis - is surely difficult to shed.
The RG has offered NO resistance or co-ordinated counter thrust thus far. No armed entity in Iraq has shown any evidence of a centralized command and control.
I just don't believe they are waiting to spring happy gas when they see the whites of our eyes. They can reach our Army guys now with their howitzers and gassy delights if they so desired.
They're waiting for a miracle from Allah, or at least Kofi, I'd say. Hopefully one of the Generals we nabbed earlier is giving them the real poop about their prospects and the news of their recently dead vicious rulers.
If the RG falls, Baghdad will fall soon after. The fedayeen can't keep hostages at gunpoint forever. They will be betrayed by the citizens they have terrorized and killed, and a quick death from a gun will be a blessing compared to the payback they can expect from the mobs.
And among a joyful throng of millions, the hopes and lives of free Iraqis will be entrusted to their brave liberator and beloved new leader: Geraldo Rivera.
I was with you all the way to those last two words!
