Shiite Sadrist and Sunni Al Qaeda Making Common Cause in Iraq, Despite Fact That This is a Physical Impossibility

Or so it seems, anyway, based on their coordinated messaging.

few days ago, there were two suspiciously coordinated statements emerging from Iraq. Muqtada al-Sadr made open-war threats followed immediately by a similar threat from al-Qaeda.

As they say, there is usually no smoke without fire.

Respected Iraqi writer and lawyer Suleiman Hakim (a prominent writer regularly published on the leading Iraqi politics and culture website Kitabat ) reported on April 11 — more than a week before Sadr and Abu Ayyub made their threats — about serious negotiations taking place between Sadr’s movement and a leader of the Islamic army group.

The meetings, Hakim believes, are taking place in Syria and Lebanon and are sponsored by a special Syrian security apparatus specialized in Iraqi affairs.

Alarmed? Don't be. Barack Obama assures us he will fight Al Qaeda in Iraq if they're there.

Thanks to CJ.
