reports last night were that 70 to 72 tanks were destroyed by these Apaches. I am pretty sure it was the same mission because it was described as the mission where the one Apache had to make a forced landing.

I am starting to doubt the reports of such kill numbers of tanks. I read where the Iraqis are usuing modified SUVs and Toyota trucks with mounted ordinance--like the so called "technicals" in Somalia. Those might account for the kill count mistaken for tanks. I have not heard of Iraq armor moving out to engage in such numbers yet.

Franks said that in spite of the downed chopper, the mission was very successful, but this is the NY Times and CNN, who are watching -- no, inventing -- a different war.

If so, then this article's headline qualifies as disinformation.
