#1 This stuff is almost comical except the Jihadis are intentional in their killing women and children and that isn't funny.

The brave islamic resistance is killing kids and their mom's no matter how you spin that your still scum that must be wiped off the face of the planet.

#2 Apart from intentional exaggeration, these reports may be influenced by a misunderstanding. Battlefield medicine is orders of magnitude better than in Gulf 1 and many wounded soldiers who might have died a decade ago are being saved and healed today.

That said, this sort of claim just causes amused disgust: "All those aboard the vehicle were reportedly reportedly killed, their body parts scattered around the area. US forces opened fire indiscriminately around the area but inflicted no significant damage. "

If that were happening, there would be video all over the Internet.

#3 ...I keep thinking of Imperial Japanese propaganda from, say, about late spring of 1945. They routinely announced the destruction of more ships than the US Navy actually had - and that's truly saying something - and when battleships appeared within sight of people on the beach and started shelling factories, the official answer was that the military, in its infinite wisdom, was allwoing them to get that close so they could lull them into a false sense of security before being destroyed.
These guys really need to start printing something plausible.
