< I suspect your use of 3 million might not be accurate> That is correct, 3 million is almost certainly not accurate -- it could be 3 million and one or it could be two million nine-hundred and ninety thousand, etc., etc. etc.

Here is another "inaccurate" view of the population of Sadr City:
<Last month, the commander of the U.S. Army division in charge of the area, the 1st Cavalry Maj. Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, said he had been concentrating on reconstruction projects - not combat mission - in Sadr City, where he's assigned a battalion of about 500 men.

"I've got a battalion in Sadr City, and there's 3 million people in Sadr City," he said. "I can't fight 3 million people with a battalion.">
