so on Rummy's Timetable, we should be at 25,000 dead G.I.'s by 2016

[mopaul]

he says we need to be there for at least 12 more years. just going by our 1,750 dead in 3 years formula. but i'm no good at math.

1. Would that make it 150,000 wounded?

:wow:

[mopaul]

2. rummy: 'somewhere around 140, 250, 380, 540, in that area

he always starts low and goes up by a few hundred.

3. It will be more than that by then

The Iraqis do not want us in their country. Once they start targeting US/British troops 100% the death toll will go up.

[whistle]

4. Actually we went into Iraq in March 2003 which was 27 months ago

...so the average deaths per month have been 1,750 deaths / 27 months = 64.82 deaths a month so 12 more years will be (12 years * 12 months) 144 more months times 64.82 deaths per month = 9,334 more U.S. troops killed or some 11,083 total plus $1.8 trillion ($150 billion per year) more wasted on fighting and occupation of Iraq.
