IRAN, AL-QAEDA & HOLY JOE

Noah Shachtman at Danger Room brings to our attention the long-standing antagonism between Iran and Al-Qaeda, something wingnut war whores like Joe Lieberman never tell us.

First, Zawahiri states that Al-Qaeda will fight Iran if it becomes dominant in the region:

I can only say that major changes will occur in the region, and the situation will be in the interest of the Mujahideen if the war saps both of them. If, however, one of them emerges victorious, its influence will intensify and fierce battles will begin between it and the Mujahideen

Second, Zawahiri remembers that Iran helped us overthrow the Taliban & Al-Qaeda:

In a videotape released in December, he said that "Iran has stabbed the Muslim Ummah [nation] in the back" during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.
