#1 Lol. Back to the same old idiocy of wild claims. Didn't they claim more destroyed tanks, US Troops killed, planes shot down, and fluffy bunnies with intentionally and cruelly stubbed toesies, than existed in the inventory way back when? IIRC it was reported as purest fact, way back then, on Al Jiz and IslamOnLine.

#2 Can't wait for the LLL and their buds the MSM to start using these wild claims as the basis once again to bring up again that the government is 'hiding' the number of 'true' casualties. Ignoring of course, that every death has been reported and posted by CENTCOM, that there is a free flow of communications between families and friends for personnel deployed in theater, etc. Facts don't matter to the LLL, only feelings/beliefs. Next, why the Earth is the center of the universe and the sun, planets, and stars move around it. Because we believe. You do call it sunrise and sunset don't you?

I remember a very nice story in kavkaz, a couple of years ago, about a 12-years old afghan boy killing a score of Us and afghan soldiers with grenades, destroying a tank in the process, then vanishing without trace, all this motivated by the desire to restore his infidels-occupied country's Islamic Honor(Tm). Of course, this was the Truth, pure Truth, as pure as the driven snow.
