Here we go again! Now it's Iran aiding Al Qaeda. Get ready for war with Iran. Is this excuse getting old to anyone else? It seems like this is the same storyline they use when prepping the public for war.
I am a vet, and was not particularly anti-war until going to one and seeing the destruction being suffered for insufficient reasons. We need to call for an end to the US doctrine of policing the world.
The government is once againg brain-washing the public in preperations for their next move into the Middle East!

Let me guess... We will go to war with Iran in order to stop a diminished Taliban and a dead Osama Bin Laden

We do have a Jihad Jane to deal with ourselves.

Hmm.. I seem to remember this.. Where from...

Oh, yeah..

Rice: Iraq trained al Qaeda in chemical weapons

Edit to add: That was no small feat trying to find an ACTUAL article detailing someone making this accusation... seems the pages of history are fading. If you search now, you find a ton of articles stating "Of course there was no link, what are you thinking?"...

holy jesus and mother mary of god our lord and savior !!!!

this is crazy, Bush III(Obama) is just as mad as Bush II... I might add tho al-qaeda has established ties with some shia groups, it is well known that al-qaeda is mostly a sunni organization and has massacred shia in many islamic countries... Iran being a shia clerical dicttaorship, the only links i could see that they would establish is that of any power supplying an enemy of my state. "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" simple militarynomics

if this said Saudi aiding and abeting alqida members in afganistan its more plausible.
