A 'significant' number....

Fallujah Iraq
33° 28' North; 48° 48' Eas

The first fuzzy reports on the dead and the maimed are finally starting to trickle out....

"The full cost of the battle of Falluja emerged last night as large numbers of wounded civilians were evacuated to hospitals in Baghdad, as insurgents stepped up retaliatory attacks in other cities.

As the first Red Crescent aid convoy was allowed into Falluja, Iraq's Health Minister, Alaa Alwan, said ambulances had begun transferring a 'significant number' of injured civilians out of the battle zone, although he did not specify how many...."

So, just what is significant?

Tens?

Hundreds?

Thousands?

We would like to suggest that one is a million too many for something as useless as shock and awe footage on FOX News.
