Up where we are, where the 7th Calvary is, another twin city of Al Hillah somewhat to the east of there, the 7th Calvary has taken up positions in an arc, protecting the flank of the 3rd Infantry Division while it moves on Al Hillah.
What we're seeing is a situation out here now where the Iraqi army with its Republican Guard leaders have taken up positions of sanctuary inside cities like Al Hillah and the city which we can't identify, the one we're close to.
But they take up positions of sanctuary and then, according to Army sources, the Iraqis establish their artillery in civilian areas and business districts in the city such that it's not a very good target for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy jets overhead to attack.
