Zarqawi Documents: "Al-Qaida Sought U.S.-Iran War"...(same as Fox News !)
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 02:54 AM by charles t
A blueprint for trying to start a war between the United States and Iran was among a "huge treasure" of documents found in the hideout of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraqi officials said Thursday....(snip)....The document, purporting to reflect al-Qaida policy.....

(snip)

"Generally speaking and despite the gloomy present situation, we find that the best solution in order to get out of this crisis is to involve the U.S. forces in waging a war against another country or any hostile groups," the document said, as quoted by al-Maliki's office.......(snip)......."We mean specifically attempting to escalate the tension between America and Iran, and American and the Shiite in Iraq," it quoted the documents as saying, especially among moderate followers of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most influential Shiite cleric in Iraq.

"Creating disputes between America and them could hinder the U.S. cooperation with them, and subsequently weaken this kind of alliance between Shiites and the Americans," it said, adding that "the best solution is to get America involved in a war against another country and this would bring benefits."

Say that again ?

al-Qaida: "the best solution is to get America involved in a war against another country and this would bring benefits."





In lusting for a US-Iran War, al-Qaida has made some interesting bedfellows at the "GOP's favored" network:

Exemplifying the drum-beating at Fox News for war with Iran: Brit Hume's classic January misrepresentation of Fox's own polling data, which Hume (aided by brassy Fox graphics) twisted to report that 51% of Americans "would now support" air strikes on Iran. (No sense in confusing Fox viewers with the actual poll questions !)



Fox News and al-Qaida!!

Strange bedfellows, indeed!!





Update

AP has published a translation of the text of a document discovered in terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's hide-out. The document was provided in English by Iraqi National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie:

excerpts:

........

"7. A war between the Americans and Iran. A war between the Americans and Iran. We have noticed that the best of these wars to be ignited is the one between the Americans and Iran, because it will have many benefits in favor of the Sunni and the resistance, such as:
1. Freeing the Sunni people in Iran, who are (30 percent) of the population and under the Shi'a Rule.
2. Drowning the Americans in another war that will engage many of their forces.
3. The possibility of acquiring new weapons from the Iranian side, either after the fall of Iran or during the battles.
4. To entice Iran towards helping the resistance because of its need for its help.
5. Weakening the Shi'a supply line.

"The question remains, how to draw the Americans into fighting a war against Iran? It is not known whether American is serious in its animosity towards Iran, because of the big support Iran is offering to America in its war in Afghanistan and in Iraq. Hence, it is necessary first to exaggerate the Iranian danger and to convince America and the west in general, of the real danger coming from Iran, and this would be done by the following:

(snip)

"3. By advertising that Iran has chemical and nuclear weapons and is threatening the west with these weapons.
4. By executing exploding operations in the west and accusing Iran by planting Iranian Shi'a fingerprints and evidence.
5. By declaring the existence of a relationship between Iran and terrorist groups (as termed by the Americans).
6. By disseminating bogus messages about confessions showing that Iran is in possession of weapons of mass destruction or that there are attempts by the Iranian intelligence to undertake terrorist operations in America and the west and against western interests."

2. Were these documents in English?
Or some hitherto unknown dialect of Arabic?

Just wondering.
