americans out of this group. 11 out of 19, for those that are committed 9/11 a few years ago are from saudi arabia, says and two or three from united arab emirates. these two countries have sent their citizen all over the middle east doing with the car bombs, doing suicide bombs and road mines and all sorts of killing over the last 14 years in my country at least. now, i think this is going to make life extremely difficult, and for those that are people like myself who defend andmented the american to help iraqis in defeating isis in this country were going to make our lives going to be difficult to defend the cause of the reason behind the americans american troops
