Iraq's population is around 25 million, not 70 million. Still, given that we have difficulty supplying our 100,000 troops, I wonder how we will be able to supply the 20 or so million of Iraqis under our control when their food starts running out in a few weeks, if there is continuing guerilla warfare around the country.

Something else to remember: Iraq pop. about 70 million.

Your source for that would be??

The CIA Factbook, which I have generally found quite accurate, lists their estimated July, 2002 population as just over 24 million. Not trivial, to be sure, but hardly 70 million.
