there are dead bodies lying around, many in pieces, how DO you determine nationality?

In most cases, you probably can't. Which is why some of us who proclaim "Insurgents are not Iraqis" and then go on to say "It is well documented" are kidding themselves. And us.

>>>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.


Oh please. Have I said ANYWHERE that your inability to prove that famous statement means the opposite must be true? I can't question anything now? Give me a break...

We are PERFECTLY happy to kill former Iraqi Baathists who still want to fight. No problem at all.

That is quite obvious. And very much irrelevant.

I don't really, truly CARE about the nationalities of insurgents who fight American soldiers

Hm... Then why oh why did you jump into this conversation?

Let me guess: Bill had to be defended against zonder. Whether he was right or wrong. Even when you didn't CARE if he was right or wrong.
