Simple math on American KIAs UPDATED

I have heard so much blather about the surge "showing signs". Did you know that 2007 is shaping up to be the worst year ever in terms of American KIAs?
My source is the website Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.
Simply stated there are 365 days this year. We have had 76 of them. 210 Americans have died in action.
365 days per year / 76 days * 210 deaths = 1008 deaths per year.
The previous yearly totals were:
Year US Deaths
2003 486
2004 848
2005 846
2006 821
2007 210
Total 3211
The previous record was 848. 1008 is a lull? America is truly finished if we buy that logic.
The death rate is at its highest AND the Shi'ites are laying low. They are hoping that BushCo will disappear and the next President will turn Iraq over to the Shi'ites and get out. They won't lay low forever. It's their country, they will always be there. We will not.
Get the troops out now.
