BS. If all of these terrorists are coming from outside of Iraq, where
are
the bodies? In every study I could find, foreign fighters make up a
very small percentage of those fighting, typically less than 10%..
NOYB, you have been using this "foreign fighter" argument for some
time. Come on now, show us a source. Where are the numbers?

There was a US General on Faux News (of all places) this morning
addressing that very question.

Who was the General? Is he on active duty, or is he a "former General"
who doesn't really have his finger on the pulse over there? Was he
interviewed while in Iraq, or was he sitting in Fox News' broadcast
building?

If you can provide his name (or even the name of the person who
interviewed him) we can read the transcript and see exactly who this
General was and what he actually said (not that I don't believe somebody
like you who refers to Fox News as Faux News). Time to put up or shut up.

Put up or shut up? Damn, if I wasn't asking for your sources up-thread.
Is this a little bait and switch? Here is one source that says foreign
militants are "perhaps as little as 5%":

"As little as 10%":

http://www.boston.com/news/world/mid...error_in_iraq/

Now, perhaps you will share a source or two in support of your belief that
we are fighting mainly "foreign militants".
