I thought he was a Sunni, especially fond of the Saudis who may have influenced his acceptance to Harvard. If the Iranians, who are Shia, get the bomb, wouldn’t that be bad for the Sunnis (not to mention the Israelis)?
Look up Hassan Nemazee
So much for that Saudi thing; everything he’s done so far has been pro Iran.

Remember he also helped the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Egypt’s MB is very close to Iran, as is Zawahiri the fellow who replaced bin Laden at the helm of al Qaeda thanks to that stunt with the SEALs. Zawahiri is related by marriage to some of the Iranian mullahs. And it id thought Iran was behind the attack on the US ambassador and the CIA outpost in Benghazi as well. The violent protests which erupted at our embassy in Cairo, in Sudan and elsewhere [very much like the coordinated attacks on our embassies in 1979] acted as a diversion to draw our attention away from the CIA station in Benghazi ... were organized by a group headed by Zawahiri’s brother Mohammed Zawahiri.
The salafists do not like mainstream sunnis all that much and will coordinate with Iranian Shiites and reds if need be to get power.

I can see why the Iranians would like to make Obama's opponents think he is a Saudi tool and not an Iranian one- it hurts the Saudis and strengthens Iran's hand in getting sanctions lifted. But it wasn't a Saudi who got caught ripping off Citibank while working as a big bundler for Obama and a host of Democrats, maybe even a RINO or two. It also explains why Obama talked tough about Syria but never once made a move against Assad. It also explains why the Demovcratst, including Pelosi and Kerry were firmly kissing Assad's ass during the Bush admin, why Obama's bundler Jodie Evans of Code pink was delivering Iranian regime docs to Obama and acting as Ahmadinejad's whore, and why sge and her ilk were involved with the Gaza Flotilla and with undermining Mubarak in Egypt.
