"We don't do body counts." - Gen. Tommy Franks
Well, they are counting them now. www.news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&q=%22100+insurgents%22+killed&btnG=Search+News

Gotta love the discrimination of the U.S. forces. One hundred insurgents killed and no mention of any democracy-loving civilians harmed.

As many as 100 insurgents were killed in the first 48 hours of Operation Matador, as American troops cleared villages along the meandering Euphrates then crossed in rafts and on a pontoon bridge, the U.S. command said. Many of the dead remained trapped under rubble after attack planes and helicopter gunships pounded their hideouts.
