This may be the start of the invasion into Baghdad as heavy fighting goes on with the republican guard.

This is definitely a major stride towards Bagdad. Karbala represents the last major chokepoint in the road to Bagdad because of the potential for the Iraqi's to destroy the dams and flood alot of the approaches. I'm sure that the "Special Ops" folks have been busy securing the dams.
