Why is it so difficult for US officials to admit that US

casualties number at least 100-200 by now? Why the constant lies?

Don't be naive. Tunnel defense is very effective against a dominant attack force. It's guerilla style warfare. Tunnels are largely impervious to our one great advantage, air power. And Saddam is probably happy to take 30 casualties to our one. This could get very-very messy. No football game. We'll win fairly soon, but at what cost? I for one am very worried about our troops the closer we get to Baghdad.
