That isn’t what he said. What he said it “was common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.” That’s almost a half degree of separation from “Al Qaeda members received advice and training from [the Iranian-backed terrorist group] Hezbollah.”, as was reported in the 9/11 Commission Report.
