Iran long provided shelter and protection to the founder and former commander of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), the predecessor to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), which rose to power due in large part to Tehran’s support, according to multiple intelligence reports and outside experts.

AQI leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was given protection by Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGS) and was provided with resources to rebuild the infrastructure that has enabled ISIL to take over much of Western Iraq, according to these reports.

Iran’s relationship with AQI founder al-Zarqawi has been well documented by U.S. intelligence and complicates the narrative pushed by Obama administration officials in the wake of ISIL’s violent overthrow of several Iraqi cities.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed long ago in 2006. ISIS did not exist back then. With that said, this article does show that governments will employ the enemy of their enemy. The United States at the request of the British did the same thing at the end of WWll. They employed General Reinhart Gehlen and his entire Nazi SS group, who should of been hung for war crimes, to create an intelligence organization to spy on the Russians.

Nothing new under the sun.

The “news” that this article reports of is not meant to be informative to the general population. The “pattern” displayed by the acting parties has been repeated time after time. Most government intelligence groups create their agenda on the precepts taught by Machiavelle and Mao ste tung. Mao’s little Red Book is the bible of British and American intellegence.

The purpose of this article in my opinion is to shape public opinion. Those who run this world look at the information in this article in the same manner as some common person turning on ESPN to find out if their team won yesterday.
