John from Right Wing News relays a post from IMAO: Know Thy Enemy: Iraqi Republican Guard:
On occasion, our troops may pause to wonder, "Who were those guys we just killed?" To help in that query, I'm starting a new feature where my crack research staff find all the important information you need to know about America's enemies. Our first subject: the Iraqi Republican Guard
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE IRAQI REPUBLICAN GUARD
* The Republican Guard were a replacement for the less successful Iraqi Democrat Guard, who would try to whine and tax their enemies into submission. Eventually Saddam became too annoyed with them and had them executed.
*To make sure they were his best-trained troops, Saddam handpicked his most qualified first-born son to lead them.
* The Republican Guard is supported by tanks and other hardware that, according to U.S. military experts, are fun to blow up.
* In the first Gulf War, most experts identify the main military blunder of the Republican Guard in their fight with the U.S. military as being that they we're fighting the U.S. military. It's yet to be seen if they have learned from that mistake.
