Speaking of 'using'...
oddly enough, the U.S. government and the neo-cons 'use' Al Qaeda more than anyone.
'Our' gov't supported Al-Qaeda and their like in the Albanian takeover of Christian Kosovo, the recent destruction of Libya, and now we are facilitating their attacks on Assad in Syria.
And, of course. they are the bogeyman the U.S. Government uses to scare us into giving up our historic freedoms and accepting police-state controls.
It even could be said we 'invented' Al Qaeda, during the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan when both Jimmy Carter
and Ronald Reagan supported the mujahedeen and virtually created the Taliban.

It's all about destabilization and control of countries that.... a) refuse to join the NWO, and/or b) have oil resources that can be stolen.
"
Current al-Qaida leader, Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, has called for all-out war against the Asad regime."http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis285.htmlAnd who else besides the Al-Qaida leader? Why, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Rick Santorum, etc.
Strange bed-fellows?
