The Iranian mullahs weren't just involved in 9/11. They're still involved with Al-Qaeda. Is that a surprise to anyone? Not to anyone familiar with the jihad ideology. From Bill Gertz in the Washington Times:
A senior CIA official has revealed that al Qaeda operatives in Iran probably had advance knowledge of recent terrorist attacks, a sign that the cooperation between Tehran and al Qaeda is continuing since September 11."There have been al Qaeda people who have stayed for some time in Iran ... and because they have been in touch with colleagues outside of Iran at times when operations have occurred, it's hard to imagine that they were unwitting of those operations," the senior official said.
"And it's not hard to make the leap that they may have had at least some operational knowledge. It's harder to make the leap that they were directing operations like that."
The senior official spoke to reporters on the findings of the September 11 commission. The commission's report provides new details of Iranian government support for al Qaeda, including travel assistance to several of the hijackers involved in the 2001 airline attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
U.S. intelligence officials have said that a senior al Qaeda operations official, Sayf al-Adl, has been in Iran since 2002. He has been linked to the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia in May, and to the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa.
The commission inquiry revealed that captured al Qaeda leaders Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh disclosed to interrogators that at least eight of the September 11 hijackers "transited Iran" on the way to Afghanistan, "taking advantage of the Iranian practice of not stamping Saudi passports," the nearly 600-page report stated.

Welcome back s.b. if that is you?
WOW the CIA finialy watched Lebonones TV saw the Iranian armed terrorist going acrossed the border in 2002? Maybe they should watch link TV?
How can the Dem's say that the CIA is so right on this and yet say that Iraq is so wrong? I'm confussed? I believed them about Iraq and the Dems said they did not know anything and were screwed up now are these not the same people? Did not President call Iraq,Iran and N.Korea part of the axis of evil in 2002 and the Dems were up in arms [waving] that he was crazy?
How can it be? Do they see the whole picture or just the corner and what about china and their new subs?and the China connection with Iran?
What about that Train in N.Korea with the blast in that border town with China and the 10 Syiarns?

Hi Catherine
No, I used to be citizen of the world. Glad to be back.
Do I hear another drum beat of war? This time with Iran?
One reason why Iran is trying to muck things up for the US in Iraq is that they know if we're successful in Iraq, it will become the model for how to deal with Iran. Hence the strategic importance of Iraq to Bush's grand vision of democratizing the Middle East.
I think we'll be patrolling the streets of Tehran within 3 years.
The only American boots you'll see in Tehran are at the U.S. Embassy. While we'll help overthrow the Mad Mullahs, I think we'll stick to a strategy more akin to Afghanistan than Iraq, letting the Iranians do their own work while we provide air and logistics support.
We don't want nor need to put a large number of boots on the ground in Iran, other than to secure certain vital installations.
