Ed Morrissey notes over at Hot Air a very interesting interview with a Hamas In Iraq leader, who claims they have evidence of Iranian support to al-Qaeda and the Mahdi Army in Iraq:

Salah Al-Din accused Al-Qaeda of being subservient to Iran, [claiming] that they had [extensive] evidence to that effect. He said: ‘We found Iranian [currency], toman, at an Al-Qaeda headquarters that we uncovered. We have also captured Iranian weapons, not to mention audio and video recordings containing announcements by Al-Qaeda fighters that they had received training in Iranian military camps and that Al-Qaeda wounded were being transported to Iran for medical treatment.’

Well, if you have to take someone’s word for what is happening I would gather a terrorist leader in Iraq may be more in the know than the wild-eyed liberals in the US. If true we have decimated Iran’s primary force for destabilizing Iraq, as the Hamas leader notes:

… Salah Al-Din explained that as of late, Al-Qaeda in Iraq had considerably diminished in size – so much so that today it can be said to constitute 15 percent of what it was a year ago, …

The report notes that Iran has been funding AQ and Sadr’s Mahdi Army, so that means we are on the verge of destroying their last major destabilizing force as we decimate, with our Iraqi allies, the Mahdi forces. This really could mean we are at the tipping point in Iraq where we have taken out so much of the opposition it collapses and cannot rise up again. Stay the course – to success.
