Soldiers face murder in Iraq

[Abcdxxxx]

I'm not arguing percentages, or even arguing that this movement will collapse without foriegn fighters, or aid .... that was your simpleton friend's assumptions.

I am arguing that it's far more complex then "Iraqis aren't happy the US invaded, so this is how they're responding". This is not the response of the Iraqi people. It's Iran getting involved, it's Syria getting involved, it's rogue terror groups setting up shop and recruiting, it's Iraqis needing employment joining up, it's religious extremists fighting for comepletely unrelated reasons, it's the US government trying to fund opposition groups, it's the Iraqi government trying to fund their own opposition groups to keep a handle on things - and wether or not real life Iraqis are following the pied piper and joining up with these mlitia groups does not make it indicative of an "Iraqi response". The style of attacks, the ideologies, the weaponry involved, the funding, and so on, are not representative.
