The terror group al Qaeda has found itself curiously in agreement with the "Great Satan" -- which it calls the U.S. -- in issuing a stern message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: stop spreading 9/11 conspiracy theories.
In the latest issue of the al Qaeda English-language magazine "Inspire", an author appears to take offense to the "ridiculous" theory repeatedly spread by Ahmadinejad that the 9/11 terror attacks were actually carried out by the U.S. government in order to provide a pretext to invade the Middle East.
"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al Qaeda was behind 9/11 but rather, the U.S. government," an article reads. "So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?"
Though Iran was the first of the two to use the "Great Satan" as a synonym for the U.S., the author claims that Iran sees itself as a rival for al Qaeda when it comes to anti-Americanism and was jealous of the 9/11 attacks.
"For them, al Qaeda was a competitor for the hearts and minds of the disenfranchised Muslims around the world," the article says. "Al Qaeda... succeeded in what Iran couldn't. Therefore it was necessary for the Iranians to discredit 9/11 and what better way to do so? Conspiracy theories."

This must be very confusing for Micheal Moore. Of course, Al-Qaeda is free to alternately advance both theories: 9/11 was its greatest accomplishment, and an inside job by Jews and the CIA.
What an interesting take: “Hey Iran....we’re bigger a**holes than you!”
Americans are idiots, quit talking or they might start thinking.
Of course it wasn’t American sponsored State terrorism, it was Iraqi state sponsored terrorism (with help from others). If the NY Times says it wasn’t Iraq everytime they get a chance, bet it was Iraq.
Now you know why we attacked Iraq.

Alignment with al-Qaeda in order to overthrow the Iranian mullahcracy -or- normalized relations with the mullahcracy in order to counter al Qaeda. The former now is the better of the two Hobson's choices, because Iran has been trying to spread its influence in Afghanistan and elsewhere in Central Asia.
