He is promised a palace of pearls in which are 70 mansions; inside each mansion are 70 houses and in each house a bed on which are 70 sheets and on each sheet a beautiful virgin. He is assured that he will have the appetite and strength of 100 men for food and sex.

Ok, let's see, 70x70x70 is 343,000 ladies for each martyr. Each martyr has the appetite and strength of 100 men for sex. 343,000/100 equals 3,430. Now imagine having to satisfy 3,430 ladies. Either these guys are really cr*p at math, or their definition of paradise sounds like hell to me.

This promise did not obviosly seal the deal for the 80,000+ Iraqis who surrendered during the "Mother of all battles".

It's probably symbolic language. It means you get all you want. Plus.
I think they decided to err on the plus side.
