Andreas,
   
  So you want to provide an article that the water source in Moscow is not being consumed by thirsty unicorn's living on the top of Moscow Mountain to prove that this is not the cause of the declining water tables? 
   
  That seems to be your line of reasoning when asking to prove a negative. 
   
  Nonetheless, here is an article dated in April of 2007 stating that it is al-Qaeda , not an Iraqi organization, that is instigating the insurgency and violence.  Most of the group’s funding for arms and training comes from sources and supporters in Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.  You are correct though, that recruiting efforts of al-Qaeda has made the majority of actual soldiers Iraqi natives, but they would not be organized, trained, or funded if it were not for foreigners attempting to hurt the US and gain control of Iraq.

  Best,

Okay. How about the US military, from a story in the most conservative
newspaper in Britain?

I'm finding it difficult to find anything written after 2005, other
than you, that even makes the claim that foreign fighters are the ones
targetting US troops. Let me, in fact, pose you challenge: find a
single source, post 2005, other than you, that says that foreign
fighters are involved in the majority of attacks against US soldiers.

How about that?
