Details of the day's fighting were sketchy and the origins of the fighters unclear. An Iraqi army source said some of the dead wore headbands declaring themselves a "Soldier of Heaven". Paging 21,600 virgins. Good luck scrounging that many up in hell where you are Islamofascists.
This success must be due to Nancy Pelousy's visit to Baghdad. Only bad things are Bush's fault. /sarcasm.

Well, the number comes from the iraqi sources. Re-read the "Arabian Nights" and divide by 5 or 10, until and unless the number is confirmed by somebody more trustworthy.

This is a little confusing. Are they saying that this "Soldier of Heaven" bunch is made up of both Sunnis and Shia? or that the Iraqi government forces were composed of both (Kurds too one hopes)? But if it's the former, its a "Bad Thing". Unless the vast majority of the cult were involved and killed in the action.

With this kind of exchange ratio, even discounting the enemy KIAs by some realistic factor, they must have been using some serious force multipliers. I'm thinking AC-130s and/or cluster munitions.
Or maybe they finally got a good supply of the new AP "Cannister" round for the Abrams main gun.

I'm surprised that the MSM is reporting this. Whenever the "insurgents" try to take on the US Military in a real battle, they get slaughtered. I suppose the terrorists will go back to their "brave" IED's and fake-US-uniform attacks after this.

God bless the military, Pres. Bush and the Iraqi defense forces.

That is getting close to battalion size enemy losses IIRC. Our forces are effective when they fight, not try to police a hostile environment.
However this conflict is what it is, and I hope they can isolate/kill the 'insurgents' and win the people.
I guess the MSM forgot to say that this is VN all over again.
