It is a sliver group, representing no more than 5% of the Sunni insurgency. It shares a philosophy, but not much else, with the real al-Qaeda, which operates out of Pakistan.

So first a day or so ago we are told that Al Queda is at the same power level as 9/10/01...and yet they are not one and the same.

The point Klein is trying to push is that 95% of the hardcore fighters are Iraqi. While I won't make up any percentage the fact remains that a large portion, probably a majority, are foreign fighters.

On a side note: I will never forget when Klein had a cover story about five or six years ago that was titled (paraphrased): "The Problem With Democrats (And How They Can Fix It)"

While I can’t say the exact number of foreign fighters, one thing is for sure. Close to 100% of the suicide bombers have been foreign jihadis, looking for their 72 raisins.
