There is no domestic insurgency. They are almost all foreign fighters.
You ask how many? Who knows. There is no way to count the number of
terrorists that flood across the porous borders from Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Iran, and Jordan.

Do you just make this up as you go along? Every estimate I have read, has
the "foreign fighters" as less than 10% of the insurgency. As recently
as several months ago (2/4/5), Gen. Myers, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, put the number of "foreign fighters" at 1,000. My guess,
is his estimate is quite a bit more accurate than yours. Oh, and you had
better tell him there is no "insurgency", as that is the term he used.
