The flight of Syrian Kurds in the New York Times

The New York Times has a long story about the flight of Syrian Kurds into Iraq.  The headline says: "Syrian Kurds flee Into Iraq Refugee Limbo".  I mean, the headline makes it look like all of Syrian Kurds have fled to Iraq. But if you stay patient and read the whole story you will read this about their numbers: "Their numbers--100 to 500..." Can you believe this? I mean, the propaganda on Syria has gotten so desperate that exaggeration and fabrications are now a stapble of mainstream Western press.
