“But Israel sees Iran as the arch enemy that must be defeated so a decision has been made in high places to deem the Sunni Al Qaeda zealots as the lesser of two evils.”


Sunni al Qaeda zealots *are* the *lesser* of two evils in the same way Japan was the lesser of two evils during WWII. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. But it was Germany that had any prospect of conquering Europe and, through that, eventually the world.

Al Qaeda is now reduced to teams of pickup terrorists. Whereas Iran has an ongoing nuclear weapons program, and ballistic missile development to deliver these weapons. And let’s not forget that Iran was a key sponsor of al Qaeda operations. What many people don’t quite understand is that terrorism is an inconvenience we should target vigorously, but it’s large state actors that continue to be our most dangerous threats.

Saif al-Adel and Saad Bin Laden are believed to have ordered the attacks from Iran.[10] According to Seth G. Jones and Peter Bergen, the bombings were planned by al Qaeda in Iran, with apparent Iranian complicity.[11][12] In May 2003, then-State Department official Ryan Crocker provided information on the upcoming attack to Iranian officials, who apparently took no action.[13] Saad was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan in 2009.[14]

The propaganda has been spread about as you present it, there’s no doubt about that.

The poking and prodding attacks by Israel every other day against the Iranians in Syria are leading to what?

The Israeli Energy Minister Steinmetz spoke the other day of Assad being ousted.

Is direct intervention by Israel in Syria and Lebanon the next step?
