If they're solely targeting US troops, then call them the "resistance"
movement...or "freedom fighters" if that pleases you more. But the
majority of the indiscriminate bombings and killings over there are
being conducted by terrorists...most of whom are foreign-born.


B.S. to the "foreign-born." Most of them are Iraqis. Prove otherwise,
without citing anyone in anyway connected to the lying Bush
misadministration, or anyone who reports to it.


Who would you consider a reputable source to substantiate my claim?

By adding in the words "anyone who reports to it (the Bush
administration)", you have just ruled out every member of our armed
forces.

So the only other people with eyes and ears on the ground in Iraq are the
newly elected Iraqi officials. Would you like to hear Prime Minister
al-Jafari's take on the question about who's doing the killing?


NOYB, every source I have come up with cite the numbers of foreign
insurgents to be 10% or less of the insurgency.


The number of foreign terrorists isn't what is being discussed here. We're
talking about who is doing most of the killing.

I repeated the opinion of the Bush administration, US military leaders, and
Iraq's government that the majority of the indiscriminate bombings and
killings over there are being conducted by terrorists...most of whom are
foreign-born.

Darn. I was so hoping Noyb would find some resources on his own that
weren't connected to Presidummy.


We're not arguing about how many members of the resistance movement are
foreign born. We're arguing about *who* is doing most of the indiscriminate
killing via IED attacks.

Perhaps, they don't think the government in Iraq is valid. Think Vichy,
John.

I have read that most of the *suicide* bombings are foreign born, but I
haven't read that most of the indiscriminate bombers are foreign.

There's no reason to believe Bush, his administration, or anyone who
reports to it or is beholden to it.


So then:

"Who would you consider a reputable source to substantiate my claim?"


You puzzle it out, and come back when you have some legitimate data.


In other words, "I know your claim is true, but I don't want to see the proof."

Harry,
Have you noticed even the Dem's don't want to set a timetable to pull out
of
Iraq.
"Kerry drones that we need to "set benchmarks" for the "transfer of
authority." Actually, the administration's been doing that for two years --
setting dates for the return of sovereignty, for electing a national
assembly, for approving a constitution, etc, and meeting all of them. And
all during those same two years Kerry and his fellow Democrats have huffed
that these dates are far too premature, the Iraqis aren't in a position to
take over, hold an election, whatever. The Defeaticrats were against the
benchmarks before they were for them.


Kerry has two trains of thought.


That's two more than Bush or you have.


Have you noticed how often, especially in the past few days, your only recourse is a personal
attack?

Harry,
I know you didn't ask my opinion, but in my humble opinion you are incorrect
in your assumption.

And you think the situation in Iraq is improving?
Absolutely.


Ditto. And, anyone who would open their eyes to something other than
NBC,
CNN, et al, would also know so.
That's great news, John. Seeing your news sources are so much better
than
ours, perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for the rest
of
us. What's the current status on electricity? Sewage? Water? What's
the current unemployment rate in Iraq? What percentage of the schools
are
open? What about hospitals?
Now that the situation is improving, I guess we can stop spending money
with the Lincoln Group.
