Iraqis question US bodycount

US troops and Iraqi police in Samarra have offered widely differing versions of an overnight incident on the edge of the town, about 125 kilometres west of Baghdad.

The US military says a patrol battled through what it termed a complex ambush in the town, killing 11 attackers.

They said their forces emerged unscathed and caused no damage in the town.

But Iraqi police and medical officials have reported just one dead Iraqi and one wounded after the incident, saying there were no attackers.

1. WHAT - the USA would tell an untruth ??? unbelievable

. . The USA has just GOTTA know that not having independant reporters around makes everything they claim suspect ?

From the Article:

"Residents say the army shot up their homes and vehicles.

They agree on just one point: the shooting started after an improvised explosive device blew up near a US convoy.

Major discrepancies also emerged after clashes in Samarra last month, when the army reported that more than 50 attackers died and 22 were wounded.

The town's hospital insisted it only received eight bodies and 60 wounded from US fire."

at this point, I'd believe almost ANYONE except the US Military !
