Unless there was a whole lot left out of Fox's video of this particular encursion, I'd have to question the "3000" figure also. Most of the hardware destroyed seemed to have been already abandoned.

But, hey. If the Iraqiis can claim to have us surrounded at the airport, I see nothing wrong with us dusting up the numbers a bit. Heck - make it 10,000.

I dunno. The 3000 figure is achies by the AP here.

Buy my point was not about the actual numbers, it's about there being a world of difference between "hundreds" (title) and "thousands" (article).
