 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

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
