Like father, like son. Or maybe the acorn does not fall far from the
tree. “A son of Osama bin Laden has gone from Iran to Lebanon with
the mission to organize terror attacks against Israel,” reports the New
York Post, a reliable source for neocon nonsense. If we are to believe the latest in a long line of absurd fairy tales, Saad
bin Laden “was released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard” and
tasked with killing Israelis. “From the Lebanese border, he has the task
of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight with Hezbollah,”
according to the German daily Die Welt. “Apparently, Tehran is counting
on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using
bin Laden’s help,” never mind that it was reported bin Laden the
Younger was purportedly arrested in Iran, a natural occurrence considering the
numerous threats issued by “al-Qaeda” and its dead lieutenant, Abu
Musaab al-Zarqawi, against Shi’ites, regarded as heretics and infidels
by fanatical Wahhabi Sunni Muslims. Instead, according to the neocons, Iran has “harbored” Osama’s
minions, same as Saddam harbored them, never mind the boneheaded inconsistencies
and demonstrated fact these sort of things are flimsy pretexts for invasion
and mass murder. “Iran’s government have denied Bush administration
assertions that Tehran was harboring al Qaeda terrorists,” Bill
Gertz, working for the Moonie Times, er Washington Times, reported in 2003.
“American intelligence officials said Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence
and Security, and the Qods Division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,
a unit of hard-line Islamist shock troops, are deeply involved in supporting
terrorists, including al Qaeda.” But of course—such baseless accusations
will make it easier to shock and awe the Muslim country back into the Stone
Age, as planned. “Defense and intelligence officials said the senior al Qaeda members
the secretary has mentioned include at least two hiding in Iran—including
Sayf al-Adl, who is believed to be the official in charge of al Qaeda’s
military operations and has been linked to the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies
in East Africa,” Gertz continues. “A second top al Qaeda leader
in Iran is Osama bin Laden’s oldest son, Saad bin Laden, who also arrived
in Iran in 2002. Many U.S. intelligence analysts say they believe he took over
al Qaeda’s leadership after the U.S. military’s destruction of al
Qaeda strongholds in Afghanistan in October 2001.” “Whenever we find al Qaeda members, we arrest them. This group has as
much hatred and enmity toward Iran as it does the U.S.,” Iranian president
Khatami declared in the wake of nine eleven. “According to [Mohsen Armin,
head of the parliament’s National Security Commission], President Mohammad
Khatami considers the improved relations with Saudi Arabia one of the most important
achievements of his presidency. He will not permit anyone to place these relations
at risk by protecting al Qaeda members,” explains Ali
Farassati, writing for the Jamestown Foundation. “Iran has declined
to reveal the identities of the al Qaeda suspects it is holding, but it is widely
speculated that Saad bin Laden, Osama’s eldest son, and Sulaiman Abu Gaith,
al Qaeda’s Kuwaiti-born spokesman, are among the high ranking members
in Iranian custody.” Obviously, Iran is aching to be invaded and, if we are to believe this
latest bit of nonsense published in the New York Post, it is now stupidly providing
the United States with yet another pretext to shock and awe them, as if its
dabbling in nukes wasn’t enough. In standard fashion, Osama’s kid, vying for the Emmanuel Goldstein
award, is described as a mirror reflection of his old man: “A CIA profile
reportedly describes Saad, a founding member of al Qaeda as just a teenager,
as ‘the mirror image of his father, physically and mentally,’”
that is to say he is a CIA-ISI patsy. “It says ‘his readiness to
kill was a prerequisite for him to be groomed for leadership.’”
I guess it runs in the family. “Saad learned English and received most
of his formal education in Sudan, then moved with his father back to Afghanistan
in 1996, when he was 17. They fought British and U.S. troops side by side when
the war on terror began, then fled into Pakistan… Osama reportedly sent
Saad to Iran because it became too difficult for him to direct operations from
the mountains of Afghanistan.” It appears the neocons are engaged in a full-court press to demonize Hezbollah,
especially now that they are holding their own against the invading Israelis.
Naturally, this comic book demonization will not matter to the Lebanese resistance
group, as they will fight on, regardless of the sloppy propaganda paint job.
In the end, Hezbollah will once again evict the Israelis, no matter the cheap
shots leveled by the neocons and their collaborators in the American corporate
media. ___________________ Read from Looking Glass News Commentaries When
