Three years ago, Pakistani officials said members of al-Qaeda had begun leaving Pakistan’s border region close to Afghanistan and heading for Iraq. Of the routes used, going overland via Iran was the easiest. That traffic might have increased as links between al-Qaeda and its Iraq offshoot intensify. And 2 years ago, I was practically called an idiot when I suggested the very same thing to a number of high level "analysts" that I was working with in Iraq. However, the evidence I was seeing suggested that Iran was supporting BOTH sides, Al Qai'da as well as the Mahdist Army. My view was that Iran felt that working to perpetuate the turmoil in Iraq would keep the Shi'ite Arabs reliant upon Tehran, as well as embarrass the Coalition and keep them preoccupied. A very simple and basic Machiavellian strategy that I would use, were I in charge in Iran. But our folks were too involved in trying kill/capture Zarqawi to focus upon the role being played by Iran, as well as Syria. Nice to finally find my perspective justified.
