I really don't mean to get in the way here.

While it is not known how many of those resisting the U.S. occupation in Iraq are from outside the country, it is generally agreed that foreign fighters make up a very small percentage of the insurgency. Major General Joseph Taluto, head of the 42nd Infantry Division, said that "99.9 per cent" of captured Insurgents are Iraqi.

in one analysis of over 1000 insurgents captured in Fallujah, only 15 were non-Iraqi

There are allegations that the U.S. government has attempted to inflate the number of foreign fighters in order to advance the theory that the Resistance is not a local movement.
