Are there links between Chechen groups and al-Qaeda?

The bigger question here is: Are there links between Chechen groups and U.S. "neo-conservative" lobbyists in Washington?

Sorry to inundate multiple threads with the same post, but I think this bears repeating and should be broadcast from one end of the U.S. to the other:

One of the dirty secrets of this whole situation that may or may not come out of these media reports is that the U.S. has been an active partner with Chechen separatists in Russia over the years. Do a search on the interesting history of a group called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya (ACPC). They were established in Washington D.C. in 1999 but changed their name to the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus in 2004 after the Beslan massacre in Russia. Their board of directors is filled with many of the same neo-con @ssholes from the Bush administration who were supposedly leading the U.S. "war on terror" back then.

And just in case anyone has any doubts about where the priorities of these @ssholes lie, just keep in mind that many of them were clamoring for the Clinton administration to launch military action against Serbia to help protect Islamic radicals in Kosovo, too.

If anyone out there still trusts his/her own government, you're deluded.

The dead younger brother is named Tamerlain. Check out Tamerlane. Google search shows he’s reminiscent of Genghis Khan. Can’t make this stuff up.

Chechens are an ethnic minority living primarily in Russia's North Caucasus region

The mainstream media will love saying that these guys are Caucasians.

These guys will attack just about anyone. They have been fighting governments in China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, been fighting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, have perpetrated attacks in Iran, Pakistan and India, and have fought against Hezbollah and the Syrian government in Syria and Lebanon. And, the Chechyns have even fought against the Taliban and other Al Queda cells because they felt they did not go far enough.

During World War II, as German forces moved into the Soviet Union and toward the North Caucasus, many ethnic minority groups subject to Soviet and Russian rule for generations seized on the opportunity presented by the war to try and break free. German forces never reached Chechnya, but Chechen nationalist Khasan Israilov led a revolt against Soviet rule which lasted from 1940 to 1944. After Soviet troops crushed the rebellion, Stalin accused the Chechens of collaborating with Nazi invaders. In 1944, Stalin disbanded the Chechen-Ingush republic altogether and forcibly deported the entire Chechen population to Siberia and Kazakhstan. Chechens were not allowed to return to their homeland until 1957, when Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, restored the province amid de-Stalinization.

Hmmmm parallels and irony. The Serbian resistance to Nazis, with the notable exception of the Bosnian Muslims who formed two Waffen SS Divisions with their Nazi friends. They had a common enemy the orthodox Serbs principally and secondarily the Jews. The irony is the US's complicity in aiding and abettting the Bosnian Muslims in their so-called war of independence with the Serbs under Yugoslavian rule.

Y’all can thank God the Gun control bill didn’t pass because it’s just going to get worse and now everyone with a brain (a good one that is) should prepare themselves.
