#1 How do you have "heavy" fighting with no causalities?
Sounds like an oxymoron.

#3 Casualties are generally only reported when US forces are involved. Death and destruction, bombed out schools and mosques, dead ~~terrorists~~ freedom fighters, wimin, severly burned children..... all reportable only if US forces are within the area of operation or the range of blame.

#4 Remember folks, the Somalis are perfectly capable of trading rifle and machine gun fire the whole day without hitting anything. Accuracy isn't a strong point 'mongst the gunnies and hard boyz.

Once the qat kicks in, they stop caring if they're even aiming at anything.
