503 Iraqis were killed today.

503 Iraqis were killed yesterday. 503 will be killed tomorrow.

That's not the absolute number, but the average.

655,000 dead divided by the days we've been in Iraq.

Just to put things into perspective.

1. And those are the persons who died over and above the average

...death rate of Iraqis prior to the March 18 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. That must be the freedom Bush was taking about for Iraqis, Shrub as freed their souls from there earthly bodies.

3. I live in a small rural Texas town - pop. 3000.

So in 6 days, our town would be wiped off the map. All life exterminated. :(

In less then a week, we would all be dead. Down to the last child and infant. :(
