90,000 bullets for each Iraqi insurgent

From an Antiwar.com opinion piece by Paul Craig Roberts. It kinda wanders around, but a few interesting points.

According to the Sept. 1 Manufacturing & Technology News, the Government Accounting Office has reported that over the course of the cakewalk war, the U.S. military's use of small caliber ammunition has risen to 1.8 billion rounds. Think about that number. If there are 20,000 insurgents, it means U.S. troops have fired 90,000 rounds at each insurgent. .....

If 2,000 insurgents have been killed, each death required 900,000 rounds of ammunition.
