Iranian connections to al-Qaeda have long been debated, as many analysts have insisted that the rift between Sunnis and Shiites would prevent them from working together... but now the Treasury says that radical Sunnis and Radical shiites do in fact cooperate against the West http://bit.ly/pdhEvW

A few fundamental problems. First of all the Treasury makes an allegation of a connection and does not confirm it. Second is the fact that "al Qaeda" is a construct created by US intelligence services. There has never actually been an "al Qaeda" organization as used by the US intelligence services. It lumps all radical Islamic groups into a singularity but these groups are generally independent in structure being controlled by individuals that are not generally associated with each other except for ideology. Finally it general includes any Islamic group that opposes the United States especially as it relates to US military operations. Is Iran, for example, aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan? It probably is but the Taliban is not al Qaeda. The Taliban in Afghanistan represents citizens of Afghanistan that have every right to fight against a foreign army of occupation and a government imposed by that military occupation.
So because the Obama team said so, it is true? North Korea couldnt have done it better. And to date, there has never been any credible evidence that Iran is even aiding it's other enemy - the Taliban. They've tried to link a lot of countries with Al Qeada: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Bolivia, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, and so on. It's much harder to create a false impression of an Al Qeada link to targeted governments than a Soviet Union link.
If Iran is connected with al Qaeda then why do they keep arresting members of al Qaeda? Seven arrested http://www.presstv.ir/detail/157798.html Two arrested http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/01/27/idINIndia-54455820110127 Four arrested http://en.trend.az/regions/iran/1788562.html
Whatever Obama or any one in his administration says about Iran and Al Qaeda is chargeable to his supporters on the left.
Lol ya ok... I'm assuming you are have more intelligence assets than The United States of America ? Lol
You believe it also because the government stated it? No matter how many times this same script collapses, the propaganda continues to be successful every time.
