There are reports from the Iraqi embassy in Jordan giving a few estimates on
Allied casualties before the ground war started.
In tha battle of Khafjeh, it was estimated that aroud 1800 soldiers from Qatar
wre killed and 213 American , 28 Saudi and 400 Qataries were taken 
prisoners of war. It is also estimated that the Iraqies also have more than
100 Aliied pilots as prisoners of war.  Going back to  Khafjeh, The Iraqies 
also captured more than 50 Allied tanks all in perfect working condition.
There were also reliable reports comming from Iraq that a lot of the tanks 
and scud mobile launchers that were destroyed were actually decoys.  It is
estimated that the Iraqies have more than 3000 mobile launchers.
There was also another small battle before Khafjeh in a town called Arar 
in which the French casualties were estimated at 1800 killed.  I have 
had reports comming that the French commander there was called back to France
 for further investigation of the incident.  In about a week or so I should 
have some numbers on the aliied casualties in the latest ground war.

I also have this reliable true story comming from Jordan.  Apparently, a 
Jordanian nurse was working in a Saudi hospital when she said she discovered 
about 400 dead American soldiers all put in freezers.  The Saudies caught 
her and expelled her from Sausi Arabia after giving her the beating of her life.
This is all I have right now.  As I said, I need more time to get more info.
