Iraq casualities reaches 1600

Today the Iraq war casuality mark reached 1600. One hundred additional troops have died since March 3'rd, sixty seven days ago. Average daily casuality rate was 1.5 killed per day for the period. This rate is below the previous killed per day rate of 2.8 percent. The casuality rate is decreasing. If the current casuality rate continues for the remainder of Bush's term approximently 2,026 additional troops will be killed bringing the total to around 3,626 in 2008. Over 2,000 persons died on September 11, 2001 and regretably over 2,000 persons will also die defending against a future attack that most likely wouldn't have occurred regardless of our offensive efforts.
