Ping!

"Al Qaeda" has been running through Iran for years. For example, to and fro it's Afghan base to the wars in the Caucasus.
At this point it's just a matter of 'when'.
As I recall, Carter virtually made certain that the Iranian revolution would occur by pulling the rug out from under the Shah...
That old fart Castro. He's been alive too long.
Either you are with us or your against us.
Some Bush officials are privately contemplating a possible military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities before Russian fuel rods are delivered next year.
If we have to through the Israelis dragging their feet.
Liberate IRAN, then Seattle !
Jimmy Carter's gift to the Shah. Loss of Persia to the Mullahs
The Mullahs ONLY came into power because the Peacock Shah
refused yet another campaign donation to the DNC or Carter.
For his refusal, Carter pulled the plug and in came Kerry's supporters, the Mullahs.

Follow the money channel.........?
The "fart" may be old, but the rancid smell is strong and lingering.
If Kerry is elected in Nov. we will most likely settle into a response pattern of turning the other cheek. Wonder where the first terrorist nuke will "pop?"
Except the Cole was bombed in October 2000.
In truth, the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center was almost as much of a surprise for the Iranians as it was for the Americans. The Iranian theocracy was vastly more pleased at the outcome than any American, but they had nothing to do with the attack. Indirectly, some of their funding had gone into support and training of some of the operatives, but they would have been totally unaware of any of these objectives.
This one bears right back at al-Qaeda, as a separate entity. Al-Qaeda may have sought sanctuary in the early days, before they congregated in Afghanistan, and the Iranians provided them safe passage over their territory, but that was largely the extent of aid and comfort they offered. Iran shares borders on the east with Afghanistan, and on the west with Iraq, so they may have been in on the safe passage both ways on a number of occasions.
drip, drip, drip
We can nail iran with the rumours that it let zarqawi into iraq.
That together with iranian WMD efforts should be enough to build a case against iran.
However as far as the 911 hijackers are concerned, since the taliban were on very friendly terms with pakistan, and since pakistan had cobbled al qaeda together earlier on, it is very likely that they went from afghanistan to pakistan rather than iran.
The taliban had butchered 11 iranian diplomats and the two of them almost went to war over it. With such open hostility between the two at that time, it wouldnt seem possible.
It is more likely that al qaeda people went from afghanistan into pakistan.
Does "Seattle need help"?
Then fight it strategically and destroy the CA government structure and stifle the influx!
Thank you for that post.
