Al Qaeda Has Lost 6,000 Suicide Bombers in Iraq
That would be 6,000 fewer suicide bombers who could try and make their way to American soil.
From Gateway Pundit:
The majority of foreign terrorists enter Iraq to carry out suicide attacks, signing a pledge that formally commits them to that duty. Over 90% of suicide bombers are foreign terrorists, and these high profile attacks account for a large majority of the Iraqi losses inflicted by al-Qaeda. (MNF-Iraq)
Al-Qaeda has used 6,000 suicide bombers inside Iraq.
Sunni leaders reported this news based on records discovered in an Al-Qaeda training camp.
AKI reported:Al-Qaeda has used 6,000 suicide bombers in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein, according to records discovered in a terrorist training camp in Diyala, northeast of Baghdad.
A spokesman for the local Sunni tribal militias, Sheikh Shaker al-Shamri, told the Iraqi newspaper al-Sabah, his men entered an al-Qaeda training camp for female suicide bombers near Baaquba.
In the camp they found correspondence belonging to a group of leaders from the terrorist organisation that calculated the suicide attacks conducted by the group since 2003.
The majority of the 6,000 suicide bombers used by al-Qaeda until now are Arab and Afghan citizens, not Iraqis. The documents confirmed claims made by Iraqi secret services.
And, just think, there is one political party in this country that wants to leave Iraq to go fight Al-Qaeda(?)
Frightening.Speaker Pelosi has denied that Al-Qaeda is operating in Iraq.

Jeff, since you posted this, I was wondering if you could address a couple issues related to two specific quotes from your post.
1) “That would be 6,000 fewer suicide bombers who could try and make their way to American soil.”
This line of reasoning implicitly assumes that there are a defined number of Al-Qaeda terrorists present in the world, and that each time we kill one (or one kills himself), Al-Qaeda’s numbers have diminished, and we are that much closer to victory in the War on Terror. Do you think this type of static analysis is appropriate, given the increasingly successful recruiting efforts of Al-Qaeda in response to perceived American aggression?
2) “And, just think, there is one political party in this country that wants to leave Iraq to go fight Al-Qaeda(?)”
How would you respond to the fact that there was not one single documented suicide bombing in Iraq before the US invasion in 2003 and that the purported link between Al Qaeda and Saddam was tenuous at best? The suicide bombings and influx of Al-Qaeda fighters in Iraq is relatively new. Is Iraq truly the place we should have chosen to fight Al-Qaeda?
Just trying to get some discussion going. Hope you and fam are doing well.
