Iran Seeking to Partner With Al-Qaeda in Global Jihad

Here is one indication of Iran's attempt to become the leader of the global jihad. Shi'ites-Will-Never-Collaborate-With-Sunnis Alert from Israel National News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

Iran is trying to form an alliance with al-Qaida by training the next generation of Global Jihad leaders to take over for Osama bin Laden, according to a report by the British Daily Telegraph.

According to the report, Iran is determined to take advantage of bin Laden's declining health to promote senior officials who are known to be friendly to Tehran.

The Iranians reportedly want Saif al-Adel, a 46-year-old former colonel in Egypt's special forces, to be the organization’s number three. Al-Adel, formerly bin Laden's head of security, was placed on the FBI's 22 most wanted list after September 11, 2001 for his involvement in attacks on US targets in Somalia and Africa in the 90s. He currently resides in Iran.

maybe the Democrats from the US can ask Iran why they want to kill them. Democrats want more dialogue with Iran, maybe we can send Pelosi, Harry Ried, Dick Turbin,Levin, Kennedy.. you know the ones that want all this dialogue. let them have it in person.

Okay so since Al-Qaida was behind 9/11, and Iraq's government was taken care of by the Bush-administration for alleged connections with Al-Qaida, does that mean the U.S. is going after Iran now?

does that mean the U.S. is going after Iran now?

Sadly I think not, the US/UK will now withdraw from the ME and the responsibility for defending the West from Islamofacism will fall onto Israeli shoulders.

The problem is that Israels only real option is preemptive nuclear strikes on Iranian and Syrian infrastructure.

Sunni-Shi'a collaboration at its finest. I suppose there is absolutely nothing to be done that might encourage Sunni-Shi'a disunity, anything that might throw a spanner into those malevolent works?

If you think of anything, let me know.

Let's see, Iran wants to train Al-Qaeda, develop nuclear weapons and exterminate Israel. Yet the West sits around and wants to give this country more time to become civilized. It is increasingly clear that Iran's criminal mullocracy has got to go. What exactly are we waiting for?

These extremists will succeed. The writing is on the wall. The countries with troops in Iraq are preparing to cut and run, over a timetable, but it's still cut and run. Islam will be greatly empowered over this lack of western will.

Let's see:

1. Al-Q wants to nuke the UK.
2. Al-Q wants to partner with Iran.

Any dots to connect here?

ShortBoard Surfer,

I am just not seeing it, could you help me out?

"I am just not seeing it, could you help me out?"

Baker (Botts) Hamilton Iraq Study Group has the same problem.

I just hope you forgot your sarc tag.

Iran's developing nukes.
Iran will sell the nukes.
Al-Q will buy them.
Al-Q will use them.

QUICK! LET'S NEGOTIATE!

Yes it was my attempt at sarcasm, I thought it so obvious that I didnt think sarc tags were necessary.

"Meanwhile the rest of the world continues to sleep."


americaningermany, I'm awake and noisy. One person I shared this site with suggested getting Western troops out of the Middle East and blockading the area as much as possible, complete with a no-fly zone. Because of the threats against us, any plane leaving the area would be forced down and other measures willingly taken on an as-needed basis. Once they cleaned their own houses this would end.

We get it. Why is it so hard for the rest of the world?

Do not be confused by shades of grey.

This is a state sponsored army, and that state should be held accountable.

It is black and white. For you that see shades of grey, it is called political correctness. For you that cannot see state sponsorship, it is called lack of wisdom.

We don't have to see a 'smoking gun'. This is a national security issue, not a police issue like the Democrats would like us to believe.

We do not have to have ABSOLUTE evidence to protect our nation.

Oh yeah - and swift deportation of any imam or plain civilian threatening us too. This includes spoken and written threats. Toss 'em on a plane, put a parachute on their back and boot 'em off somewhere over the Sahara. If you actively recruited jihadists you don't get a 'chute - you just get the boot.

And if a mosque was used for such messages of hate, everyone gets a half-hour to vacate before we turn it into a parking lot.

Will someone, ANYONE do something about A-Nut already? People always wondered how Hitler was allowed to get so out of control in the 1930's-"they should have stopped him in Munich",etc. yet right here and now history repeats itself. THIS is Munich, 1938. Right NOW! What will people say of us in 50 years for not stopping this maniac and his band of murderous criminals when there was still time? "Never again" sounds very hollow when we keep ignoring this rabid mad dog and his disgusting activities to go on without restraint.
Future generations will damn us for making their world a lot less liveable by letting A-Nut off the hook. Assuming there will be any future at all.

Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 14, 2006 1:31 PM

Now more than ever I believe the US should immediatly redeploy our troops presently in Iraq into Afghanistan/Waziristan to revive the pursuit of OBL and Al Zawahir. I support a complete and sudden withdrawal from Iraq.

Enough with trying to help Iraq. I'm sick of hearing it. Iraq is over.

Let the religion of peace show the world its true colors. Let Sunni and Shiite "work as brothers to rebuild Iraq" if they choose or, more realistically, let natural selection cull the human herd of its troublemakers.

Let the Sunni and Shia kill each other off in droves in yet another decade long war. Let Iran get dragged into it to preoccupy them now that they are so busy making nuclear threats to destroy everyone else. Let the rest of the Arabs and Sunnis come to the aid of the Sunni Iraqis.

And the the rest of the world live in peace as they destroy each other.

I haven't got a single moral problem with that. It's natural selection IMHO.

PLEASE, if you're going to put Carl Levin on the list, you MUST include senator "Little Debbie" Stabenow to be part of this team of losers. John Conyers and John Dingell also have to go to this. (Liberals from Michigan all.)

What a wonderful thing it would be if these repugnant creatures would head off to Dingbatland, and NEVER come back alive. It would be a dream come true!

This is nothing new!! They have been working together for at least 10 years. Iran was the major sponsor of the embassy bombings in Africa.

Posted by: crusader619 [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 14, 2006 7:51 PM

I'm so shocked. A-Nut's website says nothing at all about this. Then again, it looks like it hasn't been updated for a month. Must be because A-Nut's busy writing off Israel again on a near daily basis.

Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 14, 2006 11:02 PM

Go after Iran.....?

Well, that is why we are in Iraq.
To establish a base of operations.
Can't anyone see the "big" picture.

It is called Geo-politics.
