#1 "They have been dented but they are still operating -- we think they are probably around 5,000 ... We have always said 4,000 - 6,000 and unfortunately the number hasnât gone down because itâs very resilient."

Kill 'em a little faster and the number will go down. Too bad this theory couldn't have been tested with an all-out assault on Fallujah.

#2 I don't think Zarqawi has functional control over anywhere near 500 people. To do that would require more $ than he could reasonably have. However, if you count people who praise him but don't carry out military or logistics tasks it may be 1000.
