"at least" a dozen or "up to" a dozen soldiers killed

[pinkpops]

I've seen both, as well as "a significant number". Which is it?

1. I would bet it is triple whatever

we are told.

2. I think 20 is the officially reported number at this point

There is a thread in LBN trying to make sense out of it:

12 in Ramadi
5 in Fallujah
3 in Baghdad

And over a hundred Iraqis.

3. Sky News Reports 130 KIA

Note that this is unconfirmed.

With the nation-wide scale of the insurgency right now, the situation will remain fluid and numbers will be difficult to pin down, particularly if this level of violence persists beyond tomorrow.

130 dead is a significant leap from past daily death totals, but given the nature of the Marine operations in Fallujah, it is not unrealistic.
