"Since you ... clearly have some comprehension problems (either that or trying to do a stealth row back from your previous position)..." Perhaps sun is the escape goat he referenced in an earlier post. He certainly has the brain power to be one.

I noticed that 4 captured insurgents the other day were identified as Palestinians. Maybe all the sploders aren't Saudis!

Man you are either so entrenched in your position that you cannot even understand contrary views or else you are practicing propaganda skills, Rove style. For starters I have made no claims on suicide bombers so I need not to provide evidence for claims I have not made. Here is a recap of our discussion, which fortunately is available online for all to see: NADINE: over 90% of the suicide bombers who could be identified were foreign Message 21375804 SUN TZU: (1) What percentage of suicide bombers can be identified? (2) Who is the source of such a news? (3) How is such an id done? Message 21376683 NADINE: Most of the identification comes from Al Qaeda websites, plus information taken in raids. [CITES ARTICLE STATING: 250 Suicide bombers have been listed on AQ websites. The same article suggests this number may be an exaggeration] Message 21377232 SUN TZU: Even if you believe this most likely exaggerated number, at the current rate that still means 100 days of bombings, how do you account for the rest of the suicide bombers? Message 21377321 NADINE: The army tells us they are foreigners and nobody contradicts them Message 21379279 SUN TZU: Why would anyone contradict the claim of foreign fighters? It is in the political interest of all involved to keep up such appearances even if false. Nor is there a way for contrary evidence to come out. Message 21381334 )and therefore it is most likely that Iraqis are doing it themselves. THE OBVIOUS LOGIC IS IF IT HAPPENS IN ROME, MOST LIKELY ROMANS MUST BE DOING IT. IF YOU DISAGREE, THEN BRING FORTH CREDIBLE EVIDENCE> Message 21381334 NADINE: blah blah blah...I am running around screaming with my fingers stuck in my ears and can't hear you so you are confused ST...CONFUSED...CONFUSED...CONFUSED.
