Yer no good at math either, T..."

Huh??

Let's take a look at the figures shall we Bobert?

Iraqi War Logs (wikileaks) - 109,032 to 2009
Iraqi Health Ministry - 104,658 to 2009
The Associated Press - 110,600 to 2009
Iraq Body Count - 178,000 civilian and combatant deaths to 2011
Iraq Family Health Survey - 151,000 "estimated" to 2006
Lancet John Hopkins Study - 654,965 "estimated" to 2006
Opinion Research Business - 1,033,000 "estimated" to 2007

Iraqi Security Forces - 16,623 to 2010
Iraqi Insurgents - 26,320 to 2011
Media & Aid Workers - 281 to 2009
U.S. Armed Forces - 4,404 to 2010
MNF - 318 to 2009
Contractors - 1,478 to 2011

Now remove all the ESTIMATES because they mean the square root of S.F.A. and you get:

Iraqi War Logs (wikileaks) - 109,032 to 2009
Iraqi Health Ministry - 104,658 to 2009
The Associated Press - 110,600 to 2009
Iraq Body Count - 178,000 civilian and combatant deaths to 2011

Iraqi Security Forces - 16,623 to 2010
Iraqi Insurgents - 26,320 to 2011
Media & Aid Workers - 281 to 2009
U.S. Armed Forces - 4,404 to 2010
MNF - 318 to 2009
Contractors - 1,478 to 2011


As we are talking about IRAQI Deaths we remove the "others" and we get:

Iraqi War Logs (wikileaks) - 109,032 to 2009
Iraqi Health Ministry - 104,658 to 2009
The Associated Press - 110,600 to 2009
Iraq Body Count - 148,557 civilian deaths to 2011

Iraqi Security Forces - 16,623 to 2010
Iraqi Insurgents - 26,320 to 2011


Psst Bobert the last two giving Iraqi combatant deaths are from a common source so number of sources is 5 not 6

That lot totted up comes to 515,790 from five sources therefore the average is 515,790 divided by 5 = 103,158
