The estimated population of Iraq in 2000 was 15,600,000+/- a couple of hundred. That is ALL of Iraq.

The largest urban population was 6,337,758 in 2000.

How many Iraquis have died since 2000 based on this mans estimates (But remember he runs his estimates from October to October so he can attempt to influence national politics)? Well, you can see below that the population of Baghdad has an estimated loss of less than 400,000 over six years and a lot of those have simply moved.

I suspect that, based on the number of bodies “discovered” that are blamed on sectarian violence, the highest numbers would be in Baghdad would be the highest number and they are far less than 10,000 a year, or 20,000 since he last ran this report. Baghdads’ 2006 population was estimated at 5,800,000 +/- a couple of hundred. Can you imagine the uproar if almost a million of those people were killed in a year?

Somebody’s numbers are skewed, alright, and it sure sounds political to me.

I’m an independent, conservative Christian, neither Republican nor Democrat, and I believe that most politicians are liars, but the Dem’s just do it more brazenly.

I think they are all erstwhile students of Mein Kampf, and know that the “Big Lie” is almost always a winner when there are so many stupid and gullible people around. No wonder they have dumbed down the school system in this country.

I would like the good Professor to go to Iraq and run a census, get an accurate count now as compared to 2000, estimate a reasonable birthrate over six years, subtract the estimated total using the birthrate figures from the actual census, and then we could know how the population is doing. Is that unreasonable?

We absolutely know that there is a religious war going on underneath the desire to create a Democracy. The only answer to that is annihilation of those Muslims who do not want a Democracy. That is what we should have done in the first place.
