Heart Of The IRAQI Regime
Looks as though US/coalition troops have pierced the heart of the regime. They are sitting in Saddam's main Presidential palace. This complex is in and around the Baath Party HQ, Saddam's official residence (which is now being used as a POW camp), and Saddam's main bunker and command HQ. In the previous couple days they raided some main Replublican Guards HQ and probably walked over the IRAQI Security Intelligence HQ. Meanwhile the IRAQI Information Minister is saying once again on TV that this is NOT happening while it is being played live on some of the ARAB stations.
This wasn't without casualties however as one of the US HQ unit was hit with a missile (at least 4-6 dead and 10-15 injured as of what they know now). I think a few were embedded reporters but still sketchy info at this point.
