Well, don't let them do that!

Iran is Shi'a.

Al Qaeda is Sunni.

Not only that, but Al Qaeda really, really hates Shi'a Muslims, they think that they are apostates.

Just remember that, if they EVER say that.

1. The key to such an argument
is that "conservatives" in this country are stupid and will believe what their handlers tell them. If limbaugh or krystol say it then by gawd it must be true.

2. They've been doing that for months.
Lots of stories about how bin Laden's son is being sheltered by Iran.

4. Military action against Iran will follow the Strangelove model
---- Bush knows he would get bogged down by discussion of the rationale for action against Iran. This time around, he will just exercise CIC authority and order secretly-planned bombing with little or no warning. The neocon "objective" is to get us into a wider mideast conflict from which we cannot extricate ourselves. They might stage some sort of terror attack which they could attribute to Iran. Very obviously, Bush yearns to be the first president since Truman to use a nuclear weapon. And just as obvious, he in no way feels constrained by the popular democratic will of the American people. He thinks he is the rightful personification of US policy and will. Like,...say,.. a king.

5.  The neocons are the ones I worry about most
Many feel it's just bush that needs to be stopped but there are others who have their hands in this as well , many who are a sort of working in the darkness along with Cheney .

They are already in Iran and I feel their plan is to absolutely attack Iran as you said suddenly without warning so they can't be stopped .

6. Hell, they connect Americans to Al Qaeda if they don't agree with them.
