This damn well better not be true.
It's from a Murdoch source, so I can't vouch for its reliability. But even if you cut the number in half, it will still be the worst day the military has had in Iraq.
A Pentagon source has said up to 130 US troops have been killed in fierce fighting in Iraq.The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah.
Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed."
But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained."
Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated".
Let's all hope this report is wrong.

it seems like a murdoch source would be more likely to lowball the death toll. either way, bad news. cant say im surprised though

Can't say I'm surprised.
At any rate, when this news gets out, even if the toll is lower there should be a lot less trolls and freepers. I'm sure they'll all join up and provide some relief for the overworked, thinly spread, injured, US troops.
Trolls- Support the Troops! See your local recruiter.
Sorry, after a few months of reading comments, I'm getting a little cynical.
