Iran's cleric leaders are harboring Osama bin Laden, according to two Iranian intelligence officials cited in a new book.
The sources say they have seen the al-Qaida terrorist leader alive and well, although he no longer resembles the picture on FBI wanted posters.
Author Richard Miniter writes in "Shadow War: The Untold Story of How Bush Is Winning the War on Terror" that bin Laden "has trimmed his beard to fit the more traditional look of a Shi'ite cleric and he seemed to have put on weight, according to intelligence officials."
The sources say bin Laden is constantly on the move, "shuttling from Iranian safe houses controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to areas of Afghanistan controlled by the Iranian-backed warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar."
"Choopan," one of the sources, gives three reasons why Tehran would give safe have to bin Laden, risking the wrath of the West.
"First, the Iranians believe they can keep bin Laden's presence a secret and plausibly deny it if publicly accused," Miniter writes. "Second, the mullahs are feeling increasingly threatened by the War on Terror.
"The mullahs, Choopan says, fear a counter-revolution and see bin Laden's fighters as tools they can use to ensure the failure of these young democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan and the survival of mullah-dominated Iran. Finally, they share enemies, including many Arab leaders, the United States and the rest of the Western world."
The book, launched earlier this week by Regnery, publisher of "Unfit for Command," already is No. 2 on the Amazon.com list.
Free Iran Bump...
Osama pong
Baghdad, Oct. 8 – Crack troops of the Qods Force (Jerusalem Force), the extraterritorial force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, operating out of their base in the border town of Mehran, have seized Iraqi territories in Zeyn al-Qos, Seif Sa’ad and al-Amarah regions, according to reports from the area.
In recent months, forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) have moved their main headquarters from central Iranian provinces to those on the Iran-Iraq border. These include Marivan in the north, Mehran in the center, and Shalamcheh in the south. Qods Force’s commanders oversee and direct their operations inside Iraq from these border bases.
The principle task of the Qods Force is to spread Iran’s “Islamic revolution” to other parts of the Muslim world. The Qods Force has been particularly active in the Iraqi theater and last April, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei decorated Qods Force Commandant General Qassem Soleimani for his “success in promoting Islamic revolution in Iraq.” News of the decoration was not made public.
Iraqi sources say that Iran has been setting up and financing “Islamic libraries” throughout southern and central Iraq and uses them as a conduit to wage propaganda and recruit young Iraqis.
I actually find this easier to believe than him still hanging out on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border.
Arlen Specter and Orrin Hatch have both received letters from me in the past because of their affiliations with Iranians and muslims of dubious character.
We need some FREE IRAN T-shirts, posters, bumper stickers, etc.
We on the right that want to do what is needed to stop this Islamic Facism need to get more forceful in our support. We actually need to adopt tactics of the left. Remember "Stop Aparthied" and "Free Mandela"? They do stuff like that well simply because they do the work and have the MSM machine and Hollywood wired.
Well the conservative network is big too. We just need to get it more coordinated. Conservative actors need to feel free to speak out. Mel Gibson could start his own studio and offer them work. They should sue and file charges with the state and federal agencies for discrimination (even get the ACLU involved) if they are fired for their views in NY or Hollywood.
We should deluge local TV and radio and newspapers to do stories on any Iranian community in their area. This country has a huge Iranian population. Most came before, during and after the 1979 revolution.
Many own businesses and are as American as anyone born here. One such person is the founder, owner, President and CEO of Paymaxx, Inc. where my wife has been working the last ten years.
He tells horror stories of life after the mullahs took over. Since they were not Muslim (they are Baha'i) they were persecuted. It took him years to smuggle family members out.
And the Iranians are ready to get rid of this facism. They need our covert help. With a few well placed SpOps team during the next big uprising...well you get the idea!
And the Bush Doctrine practically dictates regime change in Iran. And if that won't give Syria the message then they are next. You watch how fast Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia start getting tough for real! And force Jordan and Syria to clean up Lebanon or we should just turn it into a giant glass table. Terrorist are practically 99% of the living organisms in that hellhole anyway.
"there are terrorists out there who would dearly love to hit us before the election. Why? To affect it. What does that mean? Do they want to affect it randomly?" "Of course not" " the terrorists have no particular interest in Kerry. What they care about is Bush."
"The Islamists and Baathists in Iraq are conducting their own Tet Offensive with the same objective as the one in 1968: to demoralize the American citizenry, convince it that the war cannot be won, and ultimately encourage it to reject the administration that brought the war upon them and that is the more unequivocal about seeing it through."
Krauthammer does a very good job explaining for the democrats, what the republicans already know
There have been several articles stating that bin Laden and alQaeda have been enjoying the hospitality of the regime in villas by the Caspian and on secure military bases.
And what better way to receive the medical attention bin Laden supposedly needed? Who knows, maybe they thew in a kidney transplant along the way?
Yeah, I've seen those articles. He may also be hanging out in some Pakistani city, close to medical care.
DoctorZ, I like that new intro banner. Thanks.
If everyone could hear just 1 or 2 stories from Iranians who fled Iran, we wouldn't need T-shirts.
In fact, this thread wouldn't exist.
Can you offer proof of any connection between John Kerry or the Democratic National Party? As far as I know it is illegal for candidates to have help from any source outside of their own (America) country.....
