I found this story. Whether the numbers cited are accurate
or not is as the writer said "There is no way to do the
math and get to the number".............

....Arkin would only say that the Iraqi military losses <in this war> would be in the “many thousands.” But he predicted the total would be lower than in the first Gulf War when 10,000 to 15,000 Iraqi military deaths occurred.

In the Gulf War, 300,000-plus Iraqi soldiers exiled in the desert were bombed by U.S. and coalition forces for 39 days with 10 times as many weapons as have been used so far in this war, he said.

“There is no way to do the math and get to the number (of Iraqi soldiers) killed in 1991,” he said.
