A Pentagon source has said up to 130 US troops have been killed in fierce fighting in Iraq.
The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah.
Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed."
But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained."
Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated".

The latest on Foxweb is "at least 11 Marines" killed. 130 is probably someone's guestimate of both sides.

I had heard that WE had killed 130 of the enemy, so this may be a crucial misunderstanding on the part of Sky News. Hang tight.

I heard a military guy on Foxnews say that more than 10 had been killed, but not near 100.

Foxnews had a banner saying 130 killed it did not state US KIA Debka is saying 80-100 islamist killed, 7 Americans.
To: RWR8189
I heard that as well. Significant KIA more than 10 but less than 90 what a bonehead statement

I believe you're right. That could be a good thing, if we don't throw up our hands and leave, but stay and wipe out the loonies.

Sky News' lust to be first with breaking news leads them to make claims that are less accurate than most "Bat Boy endorses President Bush" articles from the Weekly World News.
To: madison10
Where is your number from? 12 was an earlier number. Did you see something saying "130 enemy killed". That would clear up this confusion if you did.
