Iraq questions?

Post by FBHthelizardmage »

Has anyone heard whether the Iraq Guerilla's are actually taking any casualties in there attacks on coalition forces?

Having checked the press (to some degree) and this site: http://www.centcom.mil/ I'm finding no reports of such.

Are they getting away clean that often?

They've taken considerabul losses, especially when they try anything larger then a single RPG shot and a burst of rifle fire. In one case the score was 17 to 1 killed with another 6 captured, favoring American forces.
