Dire Prediction

In the last 30 months, 2000 American soldiers have died in the middle east. I predict that in half that time, 15 months, there will be double the deaths in the American military, or more simply put, that by February 2007, there will have been 6000 American deaths. One may ask, how can one make such a dire prediction? Simply, the insurgency in Iraq has been and will further be emboldend by current US foreign policy.
