stepping back in time..."fayrouz.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_fayrouz_archive.html#109415983198622045" - "IRAN AND AL-ZARQAWI" - "posted by Fayrouz 9/2/2004" (ARTICLE - TRANSLATION - SNIPPET: "A former corps chief said Abu-Mosaab Al-Zarqawi escaped to Turkey last year, after being in Iran and entered Iraq more than a year ago. He confirmed to the newspaper that a meeting was held last June between Al-Zarqawi and a Lebanese fugitive, Emad Mughania, at one of Al-Quds corps centers in Kermanshah providence in western Iran. The source said Mughania played an influential role in forming the Al-Mahdi Army. Al-Mahdi Army belongs to the strict Shia religious cleric, Muqtada Al-Sadr, and trains its members in camps inside Iran. He also mentioned the entrance of Shia fighters from Lebanon to Iraq dressed as religious studies students. These fighters then join Al-Madi Army under the supervision of Emad Mughania. Mughania underwent a cosmetic surgery recently in a sanitarium for the revolutionary guards in northern Iran to change his face. This is the 5th surgery for Mughania, who's been chased by Western and Arabic intelligence organizations for a number of years now. The source said Mughania kept his relationships with Aymen Al-Thawahiri, the number-two man in Al-Qaida organization despite the difficulty of contacting him lately. He added that Mughania submitted a report early this year to chief of the revolutionary guards intelligence after a visit to Iraq. The report outlined the importance of expanding a framework of collaboration between Al-Mahdi Army and Al-Zarqawi's group. Muqtada has lost his standing among the Iraqi shia, especially Al-Najaf, while gaining more supporters in the Sunni triangle.")
Mugniyeh may be clever, but he is only a human being. Human beings make mistakes, and he will too.
And when he does, it will be a fatal mistake.
If this report is accurate, you have to wonder what kind of reprisals they have in mind. Should Iran be attacked, I doubt they have plans to retaliate with individual suicide bombers, despite what they've said about their thousands of supposed volunteers. I'm more concerned with the fact they've met with people in Syria, where Saddam's chemical weapons were supposedly moved. Access to that type of munition could put teeth into their bluster. With their seeming eagerness to start a regional conflagration, I wouldn't put it past them.
This is what all the talk about asynchronous warfare is about, a damn cruise missile in the middle of their little party.

What do you have in mind?
If roles were reversed and it was Britain or the USA trying to obtain nuclear weapons against the wishes of other governments what would be your position?
As much as I hate and detest Bill Clinton...he was absolutely correct in his assertion that "we can always kill them tomorrow".
In reality there is legally nothing we can do to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear warheads.
Since the world seems to hate our guts....we need a Gulf of Tonkin or a Pearl Harbor as a catalyst to attack them.
Hope it's not an attack on Israel or our troops in the Gulf Region.
