First, the article discussed only one group with respect to obtaining explosives and that group was the ISI. Care to name the others? Because the ISI is the "umbrella" group for all Sunni/Salafist/Takfirist insurgent groups in Iraq. That was the one of the major points of the article, that Zarqawi's successor, Abu Ayyub (an Egyptian who was a student of Ayman Al-Zawahiri) had pledged "bayat" some Iraqi leader, Abu Umar Al-Baghdadi (who is believed to be fictious by our own intelligence sources). Again.. the point is that a strong internal security apparatus, and indigenous military, is necessary to prevent ANY COUNTRY from having $10 IEDs winding up on their roads. These bombs they referred to were driven by suicide bombers. They were VBIEDs, not emplaced "mine" style explosives. Now tell us, Ed Almighty, what prevents domestic terrorists in the US from emplacing the same $10 IEDs on US highways and streets? What prevents them from making VBIEDs and blowing them up in shopping center parking lots?? Hawk
