Every American knows how barbaric ISIS can be and that AQ was the bastards that lead to the 9/11 attack and the horrific actions since that fateful day…..
Our troops are fighting both organizations at the same time……all across the world ISIS and AQ affiliates are attacking and killing…..
But “what if” the two terror groups started working together and coordinate their attacks?
The leader of so-called ‘Islamic State’ (IS) has spoken to al Qaeda about a ‘possible alliance,’ according to Iraqi Vice President Ayad Allawi. The talks come as Iraqi troops close in on IS fighters in the city of Mosul.
Allawi told the Reuters news agency in an interview on Monday that he had the information from Iraqi and regional contacts knowledgeable about Iraq that “the discussion has started now.”
“There are discussions and dialogue between messengers representing [IS leader Abu Bakr] Baghdadi and representing [the head of al Qaeda, Ayman] al Zawahiri,” he said.
It is unclear how the two groups would work together, Allawi said.

Right now the talks are for Iraq and Syria….but if that is a success would that lead to a worldwide affiliation?
This is something that our counter-terrorism boys and girls should keep a close eye on this situation for this could lead to a much more dangerous world…..of course it could be just a ploy to make sure that the resources and cash keep flowing for years to come.
Any thoughts?
I think an alliance between the two would be pretty good because it would be no time at all before they were concentrating their battles toward each other rather than toward the rest of the world.
I think that would probably occur but not before they do some international damage….
Thanx for the Ping much appreciated ….chuq
I can’t imagine one of them would be willing to take orders from the other group. There has to be one primary leader. Your thoughts?
They would set up a council each group would have a leader and decisions would be made but it would only be short lived……chuq
I couldn’t see such an alliance lasting for too long, before they started to fight among themselves. I am reminded of the problems in Palestine, between Hamas and Fatah some years back.

Probably but how much damage could they do before that starts? chuq
