Troops battling Iraq's elite guards on the Red Line
"American patrols were said to be probing the defences of the capital, some crossing the "red line" supposedly drawn around city by Saddam marking the point he will use chemical weapons if the coalition forces advance beyond it." - a report from ThisisLondon.

I've seen that red line on TV. It's big and would take a while to get across. Hopefully the soldiers crossing have some cover, like red jackets or something.

Why doesn't anyone ever say "elite 101st Airborne", "elite Marine Expiditionary Force", or "elite F-117 squadron"?
