#1 Anthony Cordesman, a former director of defense intelligence assessment for the secretary of Defense, and Nawaf Obaid, a Saudi national and security analyst. Based mostly on Saudi intelligence,

As was posted here on a previous day (StrategyPage?), Cordesman (shame on him) is using garbage data supplied by the Saudis, who are desparately trying to minimize knowledge of the extensive involvement of Saudi terrorists.

#2 ed,

I thought that the Saudi jihadi participation was understated as well.It just looked fishy. I wonder if he got a grant from a Saudi firm to produce this report as well?

Thanks for pointing out that they are bullshitting us on the Saudi data, it helps when deciphering the tons of info that comes across the MSM everyday.

I wonder what the integrity of the other data is here?

#3 The glaring error here is obvious. An analogy: "Before the German army was provoked into WWII, they were just training a defensive force."
