The insurgency gets stronger and more lethal

John Aravosis writes this about the over 2,000 dead American soldiers in Iraq:
We know they're dying faster -- it took 18 months for the first 1000 casualties and just 14 months for the next 1000. The insurgency is getting stronger and more lethal. So if that continues, we can expect to hit 3000 dead next August. (And we WILL still be in Iraq ten months from now.)
Nothing seems to stop the insurgency. Things will only get worse for our soldiers. We should leave soon, and quickly.

I wonder if Bush will be on his next 5-week vacation next summer when we hit 3,000 dead. Unless, of course, things get even worse and we hit that digit earlier than that. Whatever, chances are he'll be on vacation anyway.
