freaking hilarious now the CIA and deep state is trying to turn the Saudi 9/11 attack into an Iranian attack!
They really want their war with Iran and for Sunni Islam to win the islamic civil war.

The unsigned 19-page report is dated in the Islamic calendar year 1428 — 2007 — and offers what appears to be a history of al-Qaida’s relationship with Iran. It says Iran offered al-Qaida fighters “money and arms and everything they need, and offered them training in Hezbollah camps in Lebanon, in return for striking American interests in Saudi Arabia.”

This coincides with an account offered by the U.S. government’s 9/11 Commission, which said Iranian officials met with al-Qaida leaders in Sudan in either 1991 or early 1992. The commission said al-Qaida militants later received training in Lebanon from the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, which Iran backs to this day.

U.S. prosecutors also said al-Qaida had the backing of Iran and Hezbollah in their 1998 indictment of bin Laden following the al-Qaida truck bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

Saudis? Yep. Iran? Maybe. But we can be sure of who did NOT help carry out 9/11...the one Chimp Bush invaded and wasted thousands of lives and trillions of dollars...Iraq.

Against the Infidel there is no Sunni-Shia divide.

How times have changed. Now Iran and Hezbollah are fighting al-Qaeda linked groups in Syria.

Some of the Iran-Bin Laden linkage idea does not surprise me, as a possibility with merit.

Bin Laden and the Mullahs of Tehran surely had fundamental religious differences between them, in as much as they represent the main division with Islam, the Sunni and the Shiite sects.

Yet, both Bin Laden (& Al Queda, the Talian & ISIS) share, along with the Mullahs in Tehran, many fundamentalist ideas about Islam in the modern world; with all of them seeing regimes like the Saudis as decadent and corrupt and any Muslim country on good relations with the west as suspect if not apostate.

When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Bin Laden asked the Saudis to let him mount a Jihad on Saddam to take him out. They said no; they wanted the U.S. to do it. Bin Laden left Saudi Arabia for the last time after that, and because G.H.W. Bush failed to pull the final trigger on Saddam the Mullahs of Tehran had ten more years to burrow underground within the Shiites of Iraq (were they just waiting for the U.S. to continue the job, when they would be even stronger within the Iraqis??; why take out Saddam themselves with subversion, let the U.S. do the hard work for them).

Bin Laden and the Mullahs of Tehran had additional shared enmity towards the Saudis at that point, in spite of their Sunni-Shiite divide.

It also would not surprise me if the Mullah’s divide-and-conquer strategy was behind a lot of the Sunni-militia versus Shia-militia versus Al Queda sectarian strife that followed the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq (playing all against each other; keep the Iraqis so at war with each other the U.S. will walk away - which they might have gotten away with, if true).

What I am trying to say is, I think the Mullahs of Tehran and Bin Laden had more than one common enemy and more than one common interest, which could have easily led them to cooperate. We know how easily in war, the enemy of my enemy can be my friend, even of only a friend of temporary convenience.

These files pretty definitively show that GWB should have gone after Iran instead of Iraq if he was really serious about protecting Americans. No more Iran => no nukes -> no disintegration of Iraq -> no ISIS
