Hmmm. I didn't know there was a requirement that the insurgents have "I am a Saudi" tattooed on their chests to make it easy for us to determine nationality.

So the smoke is clearing, there are dead bodies lying around, many in pieces, how DO you determine nationality?

ct, here is one you probably saw but didn't think to include among your links:
No, that was not among the links I saw.

First article talks about a "guerilla training camp", where 85 were killed, and where "Documentation at the facility indicates that some members of the AIF were foreign fighters.” [Note: 85 killed in a training camp and "some" were foreigners. Is that proof that majority of insurgents in Iraq are foreigners?]
Once again, absence of evidence is taken as evidence of absence.

I don't know about Monaco, but where I come from this is considered faulty logic.

the majority of insurgencies carried out in Iraq by Iraqis, is directed by the remains of the Baath Party, i.e., by Saddam loyalists rather than by the Islamists.
Wanna know something? We are PERFECTLY happy to kill former Iraqi Baathists who still want to fight. No problem at all.

Uh, frankly, I don't really, truly CARE about the nationalities of insurgents who fight American soldiers. Kill them all and let God sort them out.
