| #2 moose as important as the number at any one time is the flux... the number of new Al Q coming from the Syria side, the Saudi side, the Persian side. the number of new Al Q recruits and rented types among the indigeous population |

| #1 I would be very interested in our actual estimation of how many AIF are left in country, and their breakdown. My guesses are al-Q, probably less than 1000; criminal gangs, 2000; Iranian backed groups, about 2000; Sunni and Shiite militias, maybe 3000; various & sundry others, 1000. This is a liberal estimate, and includes those who might fight, but aren't, and those that stay in their 'hood. |
