Al Qaeda linked to Iran or America, both or neither?

by Mark Pyruz

Recent Canadian allegations of a terror plot by al Qaeda linked to Iran are best put forward by Bill Roggio at the Long War Journal. Bill has well established links with the United States military and does a good job of presenting our military's perspectives on Iranian moves in the Middle Eastern region and beyond. To quote Bill Roggio:
"Iran's ties to al Qaeda are well documented. In recent years, the US government has added several Iran-based al Qaeda leaders and operatives to its list of specially designated global terrorists, and even noted a "secret deal" between the Iranian government and al Qaeda." 
To read the rest of Bill's narrative (which conforms to the official U.S. narrative), click HERE.

It must be pointed out, however, objective observers have a hard time swallowing this narrative. It seems highly unlikely that the Islamic Republic of Iran would link itself with al Qaeda, an entity that is generating so much discord inside Iraq in the form of terror attacks, while at the same time arguably representing the most effective fighting force combating the Assad regime inside Syria, both countries being Iran's closest allies in the region and the world.

Furthermore, the same or similar supposed "well documented ties" between Iran and al Qaeda were also put forward in previous claims of Iran harboring Osoma bin Laden. As is well known now, Osama bin Laden was actually hiding out in Pakistan, America's security client in the GWOT, a virtual stone's throw from a Pakistani military academy. Here's President Ahmadinejad responding previously to charges put forward by George Stephanopoulos that Iran was harboring Osama bin Laden [6:30]:



Amusing when looking back on that moment, right? And the same way Ahmadinejad thought such charges a joke (even going so far as to point out by implication past "well documented" U.S. associations with what would become al Qaeda, as well as the Taliban), Iran's current foreign minister Salehi responded in similar fashion to charges that Iran is allied with al Qaeda in a recent foiled terror plot in Canada.

For their part, the Iranians also maintain a somewhat analog position toward 9/11 and official U.S. complicity in that heinous attack, in the form of putting forward their acceptance of a conspiracy theory alleging a linkage between the Bush administration and al Qaeda (no matter how that may offend our own American sensibilities on the subject, which may or may not be the intended effect). Here's Ahmadinejad making the case that 9/11 was "an inside job" at the UN:



For objective observers such as this writer, when it comes to charges and counter-charges of linkages with al Qaeda by Iran, the United States or even Canada, experience dictates that such claims be critically examined.

The factual truth is not really important here. The message to Iran is to abandon its anti-americanism or otherwise it will be viewed as familiar to anti-american Al-Quaeda; there is no distinction between good and bad anti-americanism - you abandon the distinction as such; the same with anti-semitism; there is no distinction between 'good anti-zionims' and 'bad anti-semitism'; you abandon the distinction as such - that is the political act; you as a privat person can think about thise distinctions; but you and your thoughts are not important anyway; so abandon the distinction as such ...

Again; the problem is not what is the truth; the problem is what is your motivation ?

At least there is now some hint from iranian IAEA-envoy that they are moving in the right direction; they want now to be friends with USA and EU; now if he is serious he has to include Israel into that list too: all problem solved; but that little last step is the most difficult for islamic republic ...

Western news consumers have been stultified beyond repair. (fat, useless, oneway minded with and tea party potentials)

News media decides for them and a bunch of uneducated complex riddled (oghdei)tells the decision making body whats black and white.

Oh my oh my.

This World has apparantly become doomed,irrational and Stupid.

I wish I could say, dont even bother follwing up on it (this coverage of Iran/Al-whatever) but with anti Iranian M.F. on the looose, I guess its a waste of time.

I hope they (anti Iranians liars) get cancer and die.

God Bless Iran and may it prevail as it alwyas has.

Azari by fortune and Iranian by Grace of God.

Bill Roggio is a well documented con man. Ask yourself, who pays his electric bill, and then you'll find his "connections."

And a Londoner by virtue of lax immigration laws. Hopefully, the attacks in Boston will help correct that error.

"Good" enemy propaganda's pictures of Mr. Ahmadinejad and sentences that virtually send "mixed" signals and ridicule the President.
Usually propaganda methods use pictures of persons with an open mouth and closed eyes as it is in that case.

Are you really Dariush London, or they use you to mock him.
Fazeli and Uskowi somehow respected him before he vanished.

Looks like Uskowi likes you, because he applies different standards to his evaluation of comments.

Harper is a tool of the Zionists in Canada and has turned it into a global laughing stock. This is so FUNNY!

Anonymous said...

Besides being an IGNORANT JOKE and worth a million laughs, this idiotic fabrication exposes the pathetic analysis and global awareness of CSIS and RCMP that are staffed by world-class morons who simply have no idea about Iran, its religion or regional role. The Canadian sheeple are so brainwashed by the Zionist lobby and ever pervasive media that they would be so gullible and fall for such moronic propaganda by a repressive Harper government which in an apathetic nation represents barely 20% of the voters but has passed draconian laws similar to the US police state.

Hopefully, some more aware segments of the Canadian population would wake-up and question these fabrications. Perhaps, Justin Trudeau as the new leader of the Liberals can bring some sanity to Canada, otherwise the joke is indeed on the hapless Canadian public being steeped in racism, Islamophobia and Iranophobia.

Have you considered the possibility that Canadians are sick and tired of having to deal with Islamist terrorists in their midst? Garbage terms like "racism", "Islamophobia", and "Iranophobia" (a new invention every minute!) aren't going to stop them from dealing with Islamist terrorists and neutralize this virus. Too bad for you :-(

AnonymousApril 25, 2013 at 1:09 PM, yes. It is also a classic tactic of the hasbara (shills paid to post israeli propaganda on forums and comments sections on the internet) to try and shut down free speech and any criticism of the zionist entity's behaviour.

This site is obviously a target of the hasbara.
