As I said days ago, one can not "prove" the make-up of the "insurgents as a whole". Unless, of course, one could capture or kill all of them, which is itself an impossibility to verify. All one can do is present whatever evidence one can find. I agree that one very limited sample is not conclusive, but on the other hand, you have presented ZERO evidence to counter the implications, however inconclusive, of that sample. Absent any serious effort on your part to provide contrary evidence, one is inclined to view your persistent "prove it" posts as some effort at "being cute" or, worse, being a "troll".
That said, I'm sure that if you and Bill are genuinely interested in finding further evidence of the make-up of the "insurgents as a whole", that some news site out there has reported on the results of all the recent counter-insurgency offensives. I know I've heard the numbers of captured and killed insurgents in various reports recently, so I suspect someone's also been reporting on the nationalities.
If you're really interested in the answer, rather than just in arguing the meaning of "is", then perhaps you'd find such a search more rewarding and less "frustrating" than repeatedly posting "is not!" and "prove it" here.
I'd do it, but I'm busy with other stuff I find more important and interesting. |
