Predictions, Continued

I forgot to make one more prediction on my previous post: the US will hit 2000 dead in Iraq within a year of hitting the 1000 dead mark. (Just the US, counting all deaths). This means that the mark will hit on or before early September 2005.
As I have said before, I think that hostile deaths for the entire coalition is a better indicator than total American deaths, as it is more relevant to how strong the insurgency is. However, everyone was obsessed with total Americans killed, so I'm predicting on that number.
Currently: 1134 Americans have been killed, 878 by hostile action,
and 146 other Coalition Forces have been killed, 103 by hostile action.
