[edit] Size of Iraqi forces

The infobox says <100 Troops but the main text says "They found themselves facing an Iraqi mechanized company with hundreds of troops". One of the linked articles say "a reinforced Iraqi motorized rifle company numbering in the hundreds" but the other says "dealt with an Iraqi infantry brigade that was equipped". Does anyone have an idea of the strength of a Iraqi company or brigade? Do any Iraqi accounts of the battle exist? --Mr link 20:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We Didnt fight Iraq

This was isnt against Iraq, its the insurgents in Iraq.

This was during Operation Iraqi Freedom, during which US forces engaged the Iraqi Army while Hussein was still in power. Note the date of the battle, this was only days after the invasion kicked off. --M45k3d N1Nj4 G4R0 20:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

The insurgents do not have tanks to my knowledge.
