There is no substitute for first-hand knowledge. <BR/><BR/>In the interests of accuracy, I wanted to put fourth the following quote...<BR/><BR/>"Foreign militants make up only a small percentage of the insurgents fighting in Iraq, as little as 10 percent, according to US military and intelligence officials."<BR/><BR/>If anyone has any evidence to the contrary, I'm very open minded.Praguetwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481534213601084777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1140811671509028982006-02-24T15:07:00.000-05:002006-02-24T15:07:00.000-05:00Gypsy,As a Virginian I can guarantee you that a te...Gypsy,<BR/>As a Virginian I can guarantee you that a terrorist could not handle ONE Virginian - -much less 72 of us.

Pat-I am under the impress...Now for a long comment. Pat-I am under the impression that most of the terrorists here are foreigners and have been for some time. I am in no way blind to the fact that some Iraqis also fight against us but definitely not in a leading role. When I was here for the beginning of the war I remember finding pamphlets and having them translated into english only to find out that they were a call to arms for all "true Muslims." Kind of a Pope Urban II type deal at the beginning of the crusades but instead of eternity in heaven, the pamphlets were offering money for dead soldiers. With this in hand a lot of poor people from neighboring countries, with little knowledge about jihad, came over to earn some money. As the war progressed "Muslims" found new reasons to come and fight in Iraq-the thought that we were invaders disrespecting them and their religion being a main one, (72 virgins being another). So I guess that was a long way to say that "Yeah I think the terrorists are overwhelmingly non-Iraqi."<BR/><BR/> Toni-Thanks for the link to Buck, I have been reading his stuff and am actually only about a half an hour away from him. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the encouragement as always A&N. I have some more recent info for him too and I will email it soon.T. F.

I guess we Americans are a little like the CIA ourselves - -gathering a little good info here - -a little good ingo there - -and inteligently and rationally putting it together to get the big picture. You are doing a great job and and nobody else can fill your shoes in the hole you have been given to fill. Many will be glad to hear this report from you. Stay dry and well. Thanks Tim!

Most of us get the truth from Milbloggers like yourself. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing so, because without you and folks like Michael Yon (who is now stateside researching and writing his new book) we, the American public, would be in the dark. <BR/><BR/>MSM should be ashamed.<BR/><BR/>You take care and stay safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
