CB, your fantasies about charter buses carrying in insurgents is amusing but all studies suggest that the insurgency is overwhelmingly Iraqi. The 'myth' of Iraq's foreign fighters Quote: |
The US and Iraqi governments have vastly overstated the number of foreign fighters in Iraq, and most of them don't come from Saudi Arabia, according to a new report from the Washington-based Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS). According to a piece in The Guardian, this means the US and Iraq " feed the myth" that foreign fighters are the backbone of the insurgency. While the foreign fighters may stoke the insurgency flames, they make up only about 4 to 10 percent of the estimated 30,000 insurgents.
