At last, something the Great Satan and its most persisten enemy can agree on: Would Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad please shut up already? Yes, it would appear that al Qaeda is tired of the Members Only model spouting off his conspiracy theories about September 11, 2001. In the latest issue of the al Qaeda English-language magazine "Inspire", an author appears to take offense to the "ridiculous" theory repeatedly spread by Ahmadinejad that the 9/11 terror attacks were actually carried out by the U.S. government in order to provide a pretext to invade the Middle East.
For the hard-working terrorist, al Qaeda is the blue-collar upstart to the poseur bad boy clerics in Iran. When it comes to anti-Americanism, Iran feels like they should be leading the way. But really, what have they done lately? Starting up a nuclear weapons program? That's so bourgeoisie. When was the last time they got their hands dirty? Took some hostages? Blew up a car? Sure, there was a time when Iran could be counted on for those kind of shennanigans, but these days? Addressing the United Nations and clearing the room is hardly what we could call a terrorist act.
Iran continues to spread the conspiracy theory, al Qaeda says, because doing otherwise would expose their "lip-service jihad" against the United States. This reminds me of the old joke about the dumb terrorist who burned his mouth trying to blow up a car. Maybe they can work out their differences and get back to us once they've decided who the real bad guys are.
