#1 50% reduction in entries is deceptive. It does not take into account the disruptions made in their pipeline, that has really eaten into their numbers. On top of that, fewer and fewer have a "lifespan" in Iraq, being ratted out by Iraqis, killed or captured.
The real figure of moment would be how many new fighters that enter the country are still there 1 week later, and 1 month later.
