1. I'd take all this with a grain of salt. |

They've announced big battles like this before and the stories have not held up over time. There is no reason for the insurgents to be gathered in that large a group. They aren't going to drive the US out of IRAQ by attacking US units in a conventional manner so why do this? It doesn't make sense. Guerrilla's don't have huge bases.
What this could be is that US forces hit one of the local militias/gangs that have sprung up in the wake of the breakdown of Iraq and have presented it as attack against the insurgents.
