This is a point that Republicans like to bring up (fight them there, not here), but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Those who carry out major terror attacks end up being educated family men living in decent areas of the middle east (some were even doctors). These guys do not take up arms and run into battle in a desert somewhere. They are martyr-types capable of carrying out elaborate and spectacular death missions unless stopped by intelligence.
The people planting IED's and going into combat are the nutjobs you refer to. It is highly unlikely that these types would ever be chosen to do anything serious since they wouldn't even know English.
