America's allies are allies of Al-Qa`idah. I have written before about how US allies in Lebanon, the Hariri Inc crowd, funded and cultivated Bin Ladenite groups in Lebanon to win the parliamentary elections last year. They relied strongly on Al-Jama`ah Al-Islamiyyah. Today, commenting on Ayamn Adh-Dhawahiri's latest TV fulminations, the secretary-general of Al-Jama`ah, Shaykh Faysal Al-Mawlawi, appeared on Al-Jazeera and offered words of praise for "our brothers" in Al-Qa`idah.
