The unbolded part of your quote from my post makes clear that I don't assume that terrorist forces are fixed and do not change in response to our involvement. The unquoted part of the post also makes it clear. "This can easily be true even if their overall level of resources has increased due to Iraq." " Al Qaeda's level of resources is probably more variable than that of the US military," "it can grow or shrink quicker and is harder to pin down or quantify" Message 22171375 and from other posts "They don't have a fixed pool of recruits and other resources" Message 22171172 " I think that Al Qaida can get more resources from Iraq for use in Iraq, because of American involvement in Iraq."
