#1 Lol! It's a mood thingy... Rummy's right - there's no reason to have confidence in the numbers. One day Yagoub jihadi feels like making an IED - prolly cuz a real jihadi is looking over his shoulder and threatening his family. The next day he's in line to apply for a job as a cop. Makes ya feel all warm and runny inside, don't it?

#3 As I have pointed out before terrorism is an economic activity. The number of terrorists on any given day depends on the amount of money available.

#4 Yup - the real jihadi in my prev post is the merc. All those untapped Muzzies, the Mythical Moderate Muslims™, are just waiting for one of these guys to draft them - for money, a place to lay up, to store materiel, or to become part of the action, whatever - or else.

#5 I don't see what the big deal is about having a number. Just kill 'em as they're found, and sooner or later there won't be any more of 'em to count.
