Surprise, surprise.
By Eli Lake for the New York Sun (thanks to Davida):
WASHINGTON — One of two known Al Qaeda leadership councils meets regularly in eastern Iran, where the American intelligence community believes dozens of senior Al Qaeda leaders have reconstituted a good part of the terror conglomerate's senior leadership structure.That is a consensus judgment from a final working draft of a new National Intelligence Estimate, titled "The Terrorist Threat to the U.S. Homeland," on the organization that attacked the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The estimate, which represents the opinion of America's intelligence agencies, is now finished, and unclassified conclusions will be shared today with the public.
The classified document includes four main sections, examining how Al Qaeda in recent years has increased its capacity to stage another attack on American soil; how the organization has replenished the ranks of its top leaders; nations where Al Qaeda operates, and the status of its training camps and physical infrastructure.
The judgment that Iran has hosted Al Qaeda's senior leadership council is likely to draw some criticism from those outside the government who doubt Iran plays a significant role in bolstering Sunni jihadist terrorism. Iran's Shiite Muslims are considered infidels by the Salafi sect of Sunnis that comprise Al Qaeda.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. Although there is a great deal of Sunni/Shi'ite antagonism, there is also some collaboration: Iran has been funding Hamas for some time now.
YAWN........... Tell us something we dont know.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe that Sunnis and Shiites can get along just fine when it comes to fighting the infadels.

But.. but... A-Q said it would wage war on Iran.
Islamania's prime directive is in effect yet again-ALWAYS close ranks against the infidels no matter how much we hate each other.
STUNNED. STUNNED, I TELL YOU!
I've been saying for some time that Bin Laden is in Iran.
Did you guys hear that Iran has demanded that Japan buy their oil in their own currency (not the US Dollar)?
Iran is trying to bite us in the ass financially. Sounds like a Bin Laden plan. The Monkey is too stupid to think that one up.
As soon as we get the rest of our naval build-up to the Persian Gulf, they will get what they've been begging for.....a war.
Syria is getting ready to hit Israel and this time Israel will be ready. We are getting ready to hit Iran.
Strange that our Democrats are working full-stop to try to get us to leave Iraq at the very time that it seems we are getting ready to hit Iran.
Any thoughts anyone?
Iran - your time is gonna come.

....when the terrorists stike the US (and soon they will), the dhimmicrats will blame GWB for making it happen....believe it...
so much for some people's theory's about sunni hating shites, they seem to just get along when they need to go after the infidel. that is one reason why if leaving iraq too soon, after the bloodbath, iran will take over iraq's oil wealth, with iraq's blessing from their majority shites. Leaving iraq too soon, would if leaving Iraq before attacking Iran. Destroying Iran's nuke capabilities is more imortant and has to be done before leaving Iraq.
LAIR defined: the habitation of wild animals.
So the headline actually says...
"Iran Is Found To Be a Habitation of Wild Animals of Al Qaeda"
I hate seeing wild animals behind bars -- but in their case I'll make an exception.
In other news, water is wet.
nabi ZK
believe it or be killed in nasty ways
iran?...a lair of al qaeda????
Another one that deserves the "no shit, sherlock!" award...where have they been for the past DECADE?
LOL...history repeats itself...
(recalling the early 1945 article in Stars & Stripes magazine, stressing that, get this:
the germans...are B-A-D...DUH)
Oh man...LOL
Bin Laden is there, too. It's about time the US wake up to that. When will we have a man in the White House?
Vote for Rudy and pray it is not too late.

I just cant believe it al queda wants to attack the u.s. again? I'm dumfounded ! and I thought it was all over with ! sorry just listened to some dumocrats talking ,it wont happen again!!!
Yes, I agree Goob; I said bin in Iran along time ago too. I said if we bomb it we can find his DNA!
I'm sure! :)
I think Bid Laden has been pushing up poppies for a year or more.
And being raped by 72 virginal demons in Hell.
His spawn may have offshoots in Iran.
Who will have to join him.
The hard way.
All muslims stick together in the long run no matter how much they hate each other. It's in their hearts and minds to destroy us and take over the world. Do I sound paranoid? No, I'm just mentioning what they all believe. Bin Laden is probably in Iran. It's only a matter of time before we bomb them. I hope it's soon before they develop a nuke or two. And I hope it's before we get a democrat president because then they will be bombing us and we will be apologising to them for it.
