#1 Are there even 2000 Chechnyans left? I thought it was the "widows club" that has been the boomers of late in that neck of the woods.

#2 Are Chechnyans ehtnically seperate enough from Arabs to the extent that they can be easily picked out? If not, I doubt they effectively speak Arabic with a Baghdad accent.

#3 They are very different ethnically (mountainers from Caucasus) and their language is from the Turkish group while Arab is semitic and Kurdish is Indo-european. They would stand about as clearly as Michael Jordan (Peace and Blessings upon him) at at congress of Ku Klux Klan dwarves.

#4 "Al Qaeda’s chief terrorist in Iraq is trying to bring in hundreds of hardened Islamic fighters from Chechnya..."

If true, you're fucking welcome Putin (you stand-on-the-sidelines, French-licking, German-sucking pimple), for draining your swamp for you, and putting up U.S. & coalition members' kids to handle your domestic concerns.

Nice pass...

#5 The Chechen language is of the Caucasian group, which includes Ingush, Georgian, Mingrelian, Abkhaz, it is not TUrkic, nor are the Chechens themselves.
