I dont think the high 600,000 figure is any more credible than the low 30,000 figure used by the Defense Dept., even though they dont keep numbers.
The fact is more Iraqis are killing, wounding and displacing more Iraqis with no end in sight. And the US is not only fighting the limited number of al Queda-related terrorists in Iraq, but fighting a Sunni insurgency that continues to grow (as Gen. Casey said....for each insurgent we kill, two of his brothers or cousins join the movement) and now are fighting the radical Shia militia, who will also respond by attracking more of their followers to the cause. It is a failed strategy.
