DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq has given Iran a two-month ultimatum to stop meddling in Iraqi affairs or face all-out war, according to an audiotape posted on the Internet Monday.

"We give ... the leaders of Iran a period of two months to stop all forms of support to the rejectionists of Iraq, and stop direct and indirect interference in the affairs of the Islamic state," said a voice attributed to the group's leader Abu Omar Al Baghdadi

No source given except claims of an audiotape and unnamed web-site. Perhaps more will be reviled later. I would not doubt that this can happen as muslims kill more muslims than anyone else.

more will be reviled later
Freudian slip? =^)

“reviled”...perfect!

[NeoCaveman]

OK, who the heck am I supposed to root for in this one?

[CHEE]

Sorry, no spell check. Never got a higher grade than “C” in my grade school spelling class. First to sit down in the spelling bees.

[Clara Lou]

“Reviled” is correctly spelled, so spell check wouldn’t have helped. Good word, too.

[SirLinksalot]

Please pass me the POP CORN. This is one war I want to watch.

Fighting a war on 2 fronts? I guess AL Queda has never heard of reading the history of WW2. If true, this will be intereting.

It’s actually frightening to see many Freepers falling for Al-Qaedas ploy. They are facing defeat in Iraq, and now want to divert the USA by posturing itself as primarily anti-Iranian. They hope to lure us out of the fight and want us sitting on the fence salivating on the prospect of an Al-Q vs. Iran war, while infact they will get off the hook and fill the power vacuum in Iraq.

Drawing back, in the hope for an Al-Q vs. Iran fight would be most foolish.

Perhaps we could contract with the country of Turkey to provide both sides with Scimitar Swords to make beheading easier.

I am down with you Links-—popcorn with lots of butter. You can throw in a ham hock with a bottle of vino as well. When kinks like this happen, I really think the Americans really have their their heads spun. I really have my doubts that many people in the military, state dept or CIA really have a good take on the Arab/ or Persian mind. Do we let them just duke it out or what?

[RightWhale]

Ironic if after all Iran’s bluster they are sucked into the war when they had no such intention.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Me too, brother. I’ll never forget the very first word was “aisle” and I confidently spelled out “isle”. I couldn’t understand what went wrong as my classmates heckled me all the way to my desk. “You’ve been watching Gilligan too much” they sneered. I should sue, it caused so much trauma to my self esteem!

This is a true statement. I have lived in both Iran and Saudi Arabia. There is no way a free “western” mind can understand Islam logic (logic - a very poor choice of words)
