Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday that al Qaeda “has a new home base” inside Iran and he confirmed the killing of al Qaeda’s No 2. leader.

Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, Pompeo said the terrorist group has “burrowed deep inside” Iran and “threatens the progress of the Abraham Accords.”

Oh look another round of AQ fears...

Funny all of a sudden America needs to be on a war footing?

The Pretender and his Fascist cabal bringing back the Iran Nuke Deal will prove worse than giving Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

Why not welcome the new administration with a new place to throw the money we don’t have down another black hole? Kill off a few thousand deplorables while making donors and lobbyists rich. What’s not to like?

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the leaked trade accord Iran signed with China which pledges 5,000 Chinese troops inside Iran.

“No one is fooled. All 9/11 terrorists came from @SecPompeo’s favourite ME destinations; NONE from Iran.”

The countries of origin for the 9/11 terrorists do seem to be places that Pompeo favors, and it’s true that none came from Iran. Not a good look getting wrecked by Iran’s Foreign Minister. The Iranians cause a lot of trouble, but tying AQ to them is odd.

The neocons are emboldened by the feeding frenzy. They see tremendous opportunity with Biden. Trump delayed their plans for war against Iran and Russia. They aren’t giving up on that dream.

the obamanites made that years ago.
that is a part f the deep state that is gagging while trying to swallow PRESIDENT Trump.

Go read Carlos the Jackal who said the only way to bring down the west was through and alliance between marxism and islam. He knew marxism by itself couldn’t, nor could ever backwards islam but an aiance , a coalition could.

Obama was both. It’s their forces who foisted that POS on America.
That is much of the root of today’s problems.... eta one the future.
Globalists / UN? ....mainly an attack by islam.
now add in some CCP virus.

Pompeo lies almost every time he opens his mouth. Wish Trump would have shown him the door when Bolton got the heave ho.

*** I disagree, Pompeo has been solid. ***

At least we can agree to disagree in a civil manner, something lacking amongst many FReepers these days. Thank you for that.

And the Biden administration will stop foreign aid money to Israel and send it to Iran and/or al Qaeda; in the ‘hope’ that they will decide to ‘like America.’
