This is nonsense. First of all, not all suicide bombers in Iraq (or anywhere else, for that matter) are AQ people

Not true. The distinction here is between insurgents and suicide bombers. The majority of insurgents are Iraqi, but the majority of suicide bombers are foreign jihadis recruited by AQ. Look it up - it's been widely reported.

You keep conflating AQ, Iran, and Iraq as if they are the same thing, the same fight, and represent the same ideology.

Are we fighting "Al Qaeda in Iraq"? Yes or No?

Is the Sunni insurgency in Iraq composed of Baathists AND Al Qaeda in Iraq? Yes or No?

Is Iran sheltering top AQ figures, such as OBL's son Saad? Yes or No?
