Pattern emerging?

This list posted by Tim Dunlop is kind of interesting.

As we know, George W. Bush has repeatedly put the number of Iraqis killed since the Iraq invasion at 30,000 “more or less”. Also, at various times, the President has put

• the number of chemical weapons stockpiled by Saddam
• the number of police in post-invasion Iraq
• the number of new businesses started
• the number of new teachers trained; and
• the territory in square miles patrolled by Iraqi forces

. . . all at the nice round figure of 30,000.

Okay, it’s got to be coincidence, but the preponderance of the magic 30,000 number is a bit spooky.
