8,750,000/1642 would be 532 Iraqis killed every day for the last 4.5 years
The article didn't state 35% were killed. The article said 35% were "dead, maimed or refugees". The number of refugees alone could be more than 4 million.

I have not seen numbers for the Iraqis maimed but it is clear that a significant number of Iraqis are maimed for each one that dies in terrorist attacks.
Whether the 35% is correct is impossible to know accurately, but the number could be close to this range.
My math was off. It would be 5328 Iraqi casualties EVERY day of the Iraq war.
Now, Let assume your absurd number 4 million of refugees is accurate. A number NO reliable source reports. The HIGHEST number is 2.2 million and even that is absurd since NO ONE can find these 2.2 million. Think 2.2 million refuges can just disappear? Where are they?
So 8,750,000 - 4,000,000 refugees = 4,750,00 /1642 = 2892
2892 killed or maimed Iraqis EVERY day of the Iraq war It would require a daily Iraqi civilian casualty rate significantly higher then the daily casualty rate of US forces in all it's 20th century wars combined to reach that figure.
Think the US "News" media would of ignored that sort of civilian body count in Iraq?
IT is a complete made up number with NO possible base in factual reality.

Seems not even Reuters was willing to buy this absurd number

So even using this fraud of a number for refugees the number remains absurdly impossible
8,750,000 - 4,200,000 refugees = 4,550,000 Iraqis killed and maimed /1642 days of the war = 2,771 Iraqis killed and wounded EVER day of the war.
PURE BS without even the possibility of a being with in a million miles of the truth.
