He basically stated, after killing two syrians, why wouldn't they want to come here.  To answer the call of jihad and kill Americans in the middle east will probably be the biggest thing to happen in their lifetime.  

what angers me is when you get a "source please" after stating something like this when it is plainly obvious and our troops on the ground have been saying this for the last couple of years.

Now the real telling story would be is if the Iranian govt in support of hezbula (sp?) was linked to all of this.  Then it would get REAL intersting.

Sorry it wasnt a source please, I dont believe you, It was a source please I would like to see the numbers. I know there are lots of foriegn fighters, I just wondered if anyone had a source for numbers. I by no means discount the fact there are lots of foreign fighters, just wanted to know if anyone is keeping track. Would like to see where the majority are coming from.

Guns, I have been getting this feeling more and more lately that Osama and Iran are linked and that Iran supported the 9/11 attack among others.

your thoughts?

Al Queda had major training bases in Afghanistan.  It was the major gathering and training base for terrorists, and this was going on with the full consent of the Taliban who were in control of Afghanistan.

Do you think we should have gone after Saudi Arabia instead?  Because some fools were from there?  I of course have a big problem with the Saudi Royal Family allowing clerics to spread hate in the mosques there, but at least they didnt allow open training of terrorists.

Yeah its a tough call with the Saudi's. Seems like the only thing holding there government/dictatorship together is US support. I am against just nuking a country but damn if some are looking like they deserve a good carpet bombing.

do you really think the taliban were in full control of afganistan? the way i remember it was that we went into afganistan to get bin ladin and helping the northern alliance of poppy growers to overthrow the taliban was just a bonus. where do you think the money that funded those camps and funded the taliban came from? same place bin ladin is from. so i am not surprised at all that money buys good bombs in iran too. im sure they havent forgoten that we helped sadam in the iran-iraq war. i surprised that iran hasnt helped the guerrillas more.

I don't have anything to back it up, and Lada will tell you otherwise but I'd be willing to bet that there is probably ALOT more involvment than the public is lead to beleive.  

The fact that the govt there has supporeted hezbula in the past and they are a player (if not a major one) in Iraq.  In addition I read a year ago an article about Iranian agents being caught at the border.  That doesn't say much in of itself, nations spy all the time, BUT if WE wanted to start an insurection in a country who would we send????  it would be the CIA our spys.  Like I said I have a feeling in a year or two the peices are going to fall together.
