They have their own nut case that is just as bad, but if al Qaeda ends up connected somewhere, it is on with Iran that much quicker.

Interesting. I'm a bit surprised although there's certainly no love lost between Al Qaeda and Iran. This does seem a bit of a shift from past comments however.

It would seem to be obvious, but it doesn't sit right.

Cheney makes a lot of sense-the Shia believe that the Sunni are not really Muslims. For more than you wanted to know about Islam, check this out:

What does he know? Just ask anyone here on FR.

I think you've got to remember that the Al-Qaeda organization is primarily made up of radical Sunni Islamists, of course, and the Iranian regime is Shia-dominated -- Shia. So there's not a natural fit there

That does not mean much in the part of the world where 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' rule applies.

Ethnically I don't think Persians trust Arabs.

If we are going to hit Iran, we can't have a "paper trail' as it were of statements (such as: proven connection betweenn AQ and Iran) that the Left will use to derail the plans, as has been done after the fact vis Iraq.

He's forgetting that old adage "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." They may dislike each other, but they have 1 thing in common: and utter to-the-bone hatred of America, and will be content to squabble among themselves after they have destroyed the Great Satan.
