Is one of my former professors a lunatic nutjob?

He's deserving of a trip to the gas chambers. Oh, and your geography "professor" is a clueless fool also. Nice role models.

[Jake]

A clueless fool who also has a Ph.D. and has had his writings published in some prominent journals?

Education doesn't make you intelligent. Your professor obviously doesn't understand that many helicopters in the US arsenal do not have passenger seating, plus his quoting of figures in the "hundreds" is off by a good bit. We have barely one hundred in theater, most of which are being used form military missions.

There's a lot more potential Al-Qaeda recruits in Iraq now than there was prior to invading.

Not at all. In fact they're having recruiting problems.

Indeed, and the foreign fighters coming in are dying off from what I've heard. The 10-1 or worse kill ratios have to be hurting them.
