Iraq's Al Qaeda threatens to attack Iran

Play it again Sadr We have just a plethora of Sheehan-Pelosi internecine war analogies in Islamoland this morning.  Along with the Taliban's  civil war,  Iraq's al--Qaeda (Sunnis) are threatening to attack Iran.  “ DUBAI, United Arab Emirates --  The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq has given Iran a two-month ultimatum to stop meddling in Iraqi affairs or face all-out war, according to an audiotape posted on the Internet Monday. "We give ... the leaders of Iran a period of two months to stop all forms of support to the rejectionists of Iraq, and stop direct and indirect interference in the affairs of the Islamic state," said a voice attributed to the group's leader Abu Omar Al Baghdadi. The term rejectionists is used by Sunni militant groups to refer to Shiites, who dominate the government in Iraq and are in a majority in both Iraq and neighboring Iran. "Otherwise, expect a fierce war that will annihilate you, which we have been preparing for over the past four years and just waiting to issue the orders to wage the campaign," the voice said. [More Middle East Times] ” Reminiscent of  1980, eh wot?  Here's the plan.  Just as Reagan did, we back Iraq, of course, even to the point of developing strategy, and running the day-to-day tactical  planning and support.  All this leads to the day when 10,000,000 Iraqi Sunnis meet 10,000,000 Iranian Shiites on the Plain of 72 Virgins.  That's when our "air cover" lowers the boom.  On all of them.  I'm talking great, huge, boom.  If you have a better idea, I'll listen.  But you don't.
