51st
Isn't that the one that they said surrendered on Friday?
Re: moving into high population areas: Take a look at the history of modern urban combat (Stalingrad. Moscow during WWII are good examples; from your own country, Atlanta during the War Between the States; or Hue in Vietnam). Everybody does that, and if someone were invading the US, US armed forces would do it too.
Expect more attacks from "civilians"; Iraq wants this to turn into a quagmire. Also, expect it to get harder as forces move north; southern Iraq is largely Shia, which are hostile to Saddam (but also hostile to US), whereas the areas around Baghdad are largely Sunni, which are the same group that the government is.
After Saddam is killed and his government smashed, expect the Shia in the south to turn on allied forces; there is no love for the Americans among the Shia. They may hate Saddam more, but make no mistake, they hate Americans too.
