There is no domestic insurgency. They are almost all foreign fighters.

Really? 5% to 10% is "almost all?"

Those are bull**** numbers. Nobody (including Thunder) has posted a
reliable source for those numbers...yet you continue to cite them as gospel.


... 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.


So how are you sure there are so many? By your own statements, it might be
a trickle rather than a flood.



So, I tend to rely on the professionals (the Army, the CIA, the DIA, the
State Dept) who say five to ten percent, rather than the political
spinmeisters who say "a flood."

You're not quoting one single "named" source who states that the number is
5-10%. I've quoted several "named" sources who say that it's much, much
higher.


... If they called them "foreign terrorists", it would be admitting
that Bush is absolutely correct when he says that Iraq is the frontline
on "the global struggle against violent extremism" (fka "the war on
terror").


OTOH if the Bush-Cheney cheerleaders admit the facts that the Iraq
insurgency is not on it's last legs, and that only a very small minority
of foreigners have entered Iraq to fight America,


Admit a falsehood?

Yep, a "falsehood" that corresponds more closely to actual facts in the
real world.


In your world...not the real world.

... Why? So you'd feel better?

No, so that you would be "honest" which is what we call people who tend to
tell the truth instead of lying all the time. Maybe you'd feel better.

You accuse him of lying, and yet can't produce a single on-the-record source
that proves your case.
