Al-Qaeda spark for an Iran-US fire

The following sentence (from the article below): '"The biggest danger," Reidel wrote, "is that al-Qaeda will deliberately provoke a war with a 'false-flag' operation, say, a terrorist attack carried out in a way that would make it appear as though it were Iran's doing."', reads like a very realistic option, noting of course that such an attack does not benefit Al Qaeda, but the current administration of the United States. Such an operation by the way would be welcomed by the GOP in Arkansas, judging from this http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Arkansas_GOP_head_We_need_more_0603.html">article headlining Arkansas GOP head: We need more 'attacks on American soil' so people appreciate Bush.
In addition to Riedel, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski warns of a false flag operation. For more on that warning read the article below and see his http://www.deepjournal.com/p/7/a/en/443.html">testimony before the U.S. Senate. Seperating fact from fiction, always keep this question in mind: Qui Bono? All facts point to the impossibility of Iran staying a sovereign nation and a coming attack on Iran.

After revelations of a US administration policy to hold Iran responsible for any al-Qaeda attack on the United States that could be portrayed as planned on Iranian soil, former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski warned last week that Washington might use such an incident as a pretext to bomb Iran.

Brzezinski, the national security adviser to president Jimmy Carter from 1977 through 1980 and the most senior Democratic Party figure on national-security policy, told a private meeting sponsored by the non-partisan Committee for the Republic in Washington on May 30 that an al-Qaeda terrorist attack in the US intended to provoke war between the United States and Iran was a possibility that must be taken seriously, and that the administration of President George W Bush might accuse Iran of responsibility for such an attack and use it to justify carrying out an attack on Iran.

Brzezinski suggested that new constraints are needed on presidential war powers to reduce the risk of a war against Iran based on such a false pretense. Such constraints, Brzezinski said, should not prevent the president from using force in response to an attack on the US, but should make it more difficult to carry out an attack without adequate justification.

Brzezinski's warning came a few weeks after the publication in April of former Central Intelligence Agency director George Tenet's memoirs, which revealed that CIA officials had told Iranian officials in a face-to-face meeting that the Bush administration would hold Iran responsible for any al-Qaeda attack on the US that was planned from Iranian territory.

2. Funny how Bushco

are connected to some of the al-Qaeda financiers and al-Qaeda attacks are conveniently used to justify Bushco policy
even if the country they are attacking has nothing to do with al-Qaeda.
