Actually only about 10% of the insurgents and terrorists in Iraq are foreign. But 50% of the foreign fighters are Saudi, and 10 to 15% are Iranian.
This fact is never mentioned by the Bush admin. because the Saudi government is our oil rich ally and the royal family is heavily invested in American businesses, and vice versa.
There's also a clear agenda to take military action against Iran, thus we have stories like this one, but nothing on the terror the Saudis have wrought in Iraq.

As were the hijackers on 9/11.
And it's because the Shrub has shady dealings with the Saudi royal family, and the bin Ladens.
They are coming from all over, but the majority are Saudi.

You should post a link with those numbers. Even if the insurgents are Saudi they are still in Iraq killing people and fighting troops, they get what they deserve.

wow..you left out the fact that they are also Chechen, Syrian, Sudenese, and Pakistani.
What is the point of this? Why make a vague statement and try to hide it by posing it as a weak question?
Why dont you try volunteering for an ambulance corp or fire department..visit shut ins.....do something worth while than fritter your life away complaining about the world at large?

Because the Al Sauds are holding Bush's pet goldfish hostage.

Why is the media hiding the fact that ANY of them are non-Iraqi?

If the administration is "hiding" that fact, how do you know about it?
