Quote by: Byakya Theres no way for YOU to know. Other than useing common sense. There would be no reason for the Military to lie about this. if anything, theyd say the place was swarming with foreigners to justify their continued presense in the country, unless they actually want out of iraq?

OR, they don't want to admit to doing a shittier job at controlling the borders than Saddam Hussein.

If the US military raids an insurgent stronghold, arrest 100 men. 90 of which confess to being from local cities and then prooving it by providing IDs or relatives coming in and confirming it, the military then assume the other 10 may be foreigners, now multiple this by 1000 raids, and you get the idea of how its done. WOW so hard for me to understand derrr

Once again, if you arrest a majority of black criminals does that mean that the majority of criminals you haven't caught yet are going to be black?

Dont say things that are ridiculous and youll be safe from "teh attacks"

"teh attacks" are against the rules and don't help you win a debate from any standpoint.

War vs finding out if someone is native to a country or not. Yes, exactly the same derrrr

You used an absolute. Don't be surprised when it's taken as such. Since you said the surveyors must be in the right because it's their job, why would this only apply to surveyors? That doesn't make any rational sense.

Quote by: RSP Yo CB, you made silly claims about foreign fighters. I posted two sources that suggested that foreign fighters make up only a small percentage of the insurgency. (I can post additional souces as well.)

Silly claims about the presence of foreign troops that you personally concede are there. All we differ in are the numbers which are largely guesstimates. Why we have to assume that because they say something that it's 100% infallible is beyond me.

You guys have no problem insulting the ineptitude of the US military when it suits your blatant biases but when it helps to back up your argument you'll pretend they're the be all and end all. Somewhat ironic.

You have responded with multiple posts and provided no sources except to say that you saw it sometime, somewhere on television. Why bother?

The only way this is relevant is if there were less foreign fighters in Iraq than one bus load. To claim that the foreign fighters that you concede are there couldn't have gathered on a bus somewhere and gone together into Iraq and been seen by CNN, even if they were the ONLY bus, is just ridiculous. I didn't say I saw multiple buses. Just one.
