Just so you know

Just so you know

The next right-wing jackass who wants to bomb Iran because they are in league with Al Qaeda here is the status of their relationship in the Spring of 2011 from the soon to be fishfood Osama bin Laden:

The third section discusses al-Qa`ida’s relationship with Iran and Pakistan. With respect to Iran, the documents show that it is an antagonistic relationship, largely based on indirect and unpleasant negotiations over the release of detained jihadis and their families, including members of Bin Ladin’s family. http://rising-hegemon.blogspot.com/2012/05/just-so-you-know.html


This, of course, is what policy analyst who give a shit have been saying for more than a decade...Neo-Cons, not so much.

Sunni. Iranian religion (predominantly): Shi'a.

I refuse to even discuss the situation with anyone who claims Iran is in league with AQ. And do everythng I can to eliminate them from my circle of friends\acquaintances\etc.

Learned that lesson from trying to refute people who claimed Saddam Hussein was in league with AQ (despite OBL having issued a fatwa against SH).
