Omar al-Baghdadi, a leader in the "Islamic State of Iraq" al-Qaeda franchise who the US military said was dead, apparently isn't dead, and is threatening Iran with reprisals if Teheran doesn't stop meddling in Iraq. This via Greg Djerejian who suggests we dispatch Norm Podhoretz to handle the diplomatic outreach. I feel like Michael Ledeen needs to get involved somehow.

You forgot to recommend Jonah Lucianne to accompany Podheratz as aide-de-camp, and Ramesh Ponnuru as the priest with a bible containining a knife inside its pages.

Well, naturally, al Qaeda doesn't get along with Iran, becvause al Qaeda consists of fundamentalist Sunnis, while Iran of course is fundamentalist Shiite. That's why we're allied with Iran in our world-historic struggle with al Qaeda . . . no, wait that's why we're allied with al Qaeda in our world-historic struggle with Iran . . . no, wait . . .
