BF2S Forums Al Qaeda Threatens Iran.

Damn, never saw that one coming...

I have a feeling Al Qaeda's junior school report card would have said something along the lines of "Does not play well with others"

I think their main goal is to get the US involved to fuck us up even more. They know the Middle East is a sensitive issue here in the States and has divided our nation in some respects. By threatening Iraq, they hope to keep our troops posted there so that they can kill more and cause further political issues within our nation. And if we decide to leave Iraq to fend for themselves, then the US will be portrayed in an even worse light and again, things will be screwed up even more.

Basically, it's a lose-lose situation for the United States. Iraq isn't Al-Qaeda's target, we are.

Its about Iran, not Iraq.

Basically, one US enemy just threatened ANOTHER US enemy.

This would be something along the lines of Hugo Chavez telling Cuba to fuck off.

man... if it's not obvious these extremists are friggin nuts... I dont think they could even comprehend just hanging out and having a beer... maybe fishing... talking about chicks with big tits....they only know hatred... lol

maybe the u.s. should just step aside at let them fight it out.

Yeah, but then they'll want the US involved to help the poor Iranian people, and then Al Qaeda will start an insurgency, and then Iran will become a breeding ground for terrorists.

That's just what I forsee.

Wow can anyone say Islamic civil war?

Well that's big news .... not. Al Qaeda has always been Sunni sided.

The Sunni-Shiite divide is like Catholic-Protestant conflict during the Reformation, on steroids.

Don't assume this is anything to do with the US. This is a fight with centuries of history.

Guess not only the CIA gets "blowback".

EDIT: typo

CAIRO, Egypt —  The leader of an Al Qaeda umbrella group in Iraq threatened to wage war against Iran unless it stops supporting Shiites in Iraq within two months, according to an audiotape.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, who leads the group Islamic State in Iraq , said his Sunni fighters have been preparing for four years to wage a battle against Shiite-dominated Iran.

"We are giving the Persians, and especially the rulers of Iran, a two-month period to end all kinds of support for the Iraqi Shiite government and to stop direct and indirect intervention ... otherwise a severe war is waiting for you," he said in the 50-minute audiotape released Sunday. The tape, which could not be independently verified, was posted on a Web site commonly used by insurgent groups.

Well...Thats interesting...

We'll probably see Syria wade in offically, then the full extent of Geroge Bush's momunental fuck up will become apparent, and it fully kicks off.  I mean how can you say "didn't see that coming?" who the fuck do you think the Persian Gulf war was between? of course that's going to kick off again.  Going to be funny 'cause either US hands Iraq to Iran or else they back Sunni Al Qaeda again, good luck explaining that to America, or else - well done Mr President for making Iran the most powerful nation in the region.. Rock------>hard place..

Well, if this ever gets going it would create interesting bed fellows.  It would be interesting to have Iran as an ally in the war on Terror, just think, Iran and the US get buddy-buddy.  The US now has access to plenty of oil and Iran will get their Nuclear reactor.  Now for 20-30 years we are great friends until Iran turns on us and we have to over throw them.  In the mean time, Iran can not focus on Iraq and we have a chance to stablize the country.  All the Middle eastern states rally behind destroying Al Qaeda and we all live happily ever after.  Man I love Euphoria [sets down blunt] --- Who am I kidding, never going to happen.

that is hilarious...

the tree huggers know not what to say now!

What the fuck are you talking about? I could have told you that Iran and Al Qaeda are ideological enemies right from the fucking start. I don't understand what point you're trying to make. I guess that's typical - you're obviously a Republican after all, logic not your strong point.

Has the whole fucking world gone to sleep or something? Al Qaeda were a threat to Saddam. They are a threat to the Iranian political system. Iran is a country that is not doing too badly for itself. Iraq was too until Saddam stupidly misinterpreted American statements and marched into Kuwait. Saddam had to battle Ansar-Al Islam - a Kurdish 'Al Qaeda' (not to be confused with the PKK) - the entire time he was in power. The Al Qaeda philosophy is totally fucking warped - not just to you and me but also to 99% of muslims. Why can't people understand this? Has the global stupidity level gone up recently?

MESSAGE TO ALL BRAINDEAD AUTOMATONS: REMEMBER ALL THAT STUFF ON THE TV A FEW YEARS AGO THAT LINKED IRAQ TO AL QAEDA? WIPE IT FROM YOUR MIND - IT WAS BULLSHIT. WE'LL FORGIVE YOUR STUPIDITY THIS ONE TIME. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN WITH IRAN.
