Are you CIA, or NSA?

No, nor would there be any need to be. If I was I doubt I would be posting about terrorism on SI.

Just wondering about your credentials since you have such a great handle on "freedom fighters" and their capabilities as foreign terrorists.

No special knowledge needed. Saddam had thousands of completely dedicated and violent people that would follow his orders. Some of them are still putting up some resistance against almost half of the world's most powerful army. Do you think it impossible for them to smuggle a weapon in to the United States across our almost wide open borders? Literally millions of Mexicans have moved in to the US illegal despite the efforts of our border patrol. We have an enormous border with Canada, 2 huge stretches of coast line and trillions of dollars of trade, which requires things to move in to and out of the US all the time, almost none of which is checked. Do you think that the Iraqis are so incompetent that they couldn't smuggle things in to the US?
