The 2010 report said lands like Chechnya -- as well as
Pakistan and Somalia -- are seen by "jihadi theoreticians" as places where
"fighting is not only legitimate but also compulsory." The same report also
noted Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov has tried to align the insurgency
"with the global jihadist narrative," supporting the establishment of an
"Islamic emirate in the Caucasus."Whether Chechens, however, have actually
gone to the frontlines in Afghanistan and Pakistan is a matter of
fierce dispute. A Congressional Research Service report earlier this year
said "some Chechen fighters fighting alongside Taliban/Al Qaeda forces have
been captured or killed."But other studies have sharply questioned this
kind of reporting, claiming that American officials and media were buying
into a Russian narrative that Moscow was simply fighting Islamic terrorists
in Chechnya.A 2004 report from University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth
professor Brian Glyn Williams described a more complicated picture."While
it is certainly possible that Chechen individuals made their way to Afghanistan
to fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan, the complete absence of even
a single Chechen POW among the thousands captured by the Northern Alliance
and the U.S. would clearly refute the wild claims that the Chechens
formed the 'largest contingent of Al Qaeda's foreign legion'," he wrote.Williams
told FoxNews.com, rather, that "there's a jihad element that has grown large
cks that also included an expansion of rights for gun owners.Its
pretty hard to get people organized for action on legislation that doesnt
address the incident that spurred the vote and is so watered down
that liberal activists were hard pressed to even call it better than
nothing.And the same will be true when it comes to the other
looming challenges of the year, immigration and a budget. Getting people
to march on behalf of a convoluted measure that doesnt match their
activist aspirations sounds pretty implausible. And those two issues are
far more complicated than gun control.Second, when does Obama have the time?The
list of urgent challenges facing the president doesnt allow him to be
crisscrossing the country to hold rallies. But his ground troops, like the
donors who are funding Obamas continuing campaign effort, arent going to
show up for just a Tweet or a Web video. They want
the man himself, not some campaign aide deputized by Obama to round
up the posse.And it wont do for the president to be away
from Washington pushing his personal agenda on one narrow issue when a
bomber is on the loose in Boston, the North Koreas are fueling
up rockets, somebody is sending poisoned envelopes to Senators and the economy
is teetering again.Obama could use his celebrity and network to bring 15,000
to Jackson Square to make Landrieu worry, but he cant do it
when the rest of the country is expecting him to be dealing
with issues of urgent conc
