MY TAKE -- It's about Israel
by Sid Thomas
Iranian diplomats* who had been invited to Iraq by its* Kurdish President, Jalal Talabani, were busted by the Americans* in Baghdad Thursday evening, Dec. 20, and are being held on suspicion of planning attacks. This creates a new potentially explosive international situation.
"This is going to be a tense but clarifying moment." one senior administration official said. "They said that an investigation was under way and that they wanted to give the Iraqi government time to figure out its position,," the Times' says.
What we* (*in citizen's grammar) are looking at here is:
-A provocation of Iran.
It can only be perceived as a US attempt to frame them with interfering in Iraq*, they way they did in Lebanon (the article mentions Hezbollah); a pre-text for preemptive attack.
-An unacceptable insult to Iraqi officials*
Talibani is incensed; they were official guests of the state* whose security he should be able to guarantee.
One bust was "awkward" because it was in "the Baghdad compound of Abdul Aziz al-Hakin, one of Iraq's most powerful Shiite leaders, who traveled to Washington three weeks ago to meet President Bush."
In a second kidnapping, "American forces stopped an official Iranian Embassy car carrying the two Iranian diplomats, one or two Iranian guardes and an Iraqi driver. Iraqi officials said that the diplomats had been praying at the Burtha mosque and that when it was stopped, the car was in the Allawi neighborhood, a few minutes from the Iranian Embassy to the west of the Tigris River." Allawi, one recalls, was the ex-CIA link to Chalabi, backdoor Iranian expatiates, and the Kurds in the old* governing coalition. So the US today is essentially stuck with the same black operation operators There as it has been Here after the '06 election.
The charges might be correct: the diplomats* from Shiite Iran would almost certainly be cutting deals with the Shiites in Iraq over the disintegrating situation. The political edge would be a tri-partite division, with the Shia-Kurd majority, sitting over where the oil is, essentially cutting out the Sunni's, secular Baathists, Americans and Jews. The military arm of this policy is al-Sadr's Mahdi militia. It's resistance to the American occupation was only molified by assurance it would have a dominant voice in the government, which was Maliki. But only a few weeks ago, Washington was leaning hard on him crack down on Sadr's outfit to quell the sectarian violence*.
Meanwhile back in the states, with the effects of November's '06 election fading faster than reality-echoes in --'s fascinating novel The Langoloier's, a new Sec. of Defense, Gates replacing Rumsfeld, is arranging to send 20-30,000 troops into Iraq, presumably to use against "the insurgency", now including Sadr city.
This raises the spectre of the very ugliest scenario imaginable, spelled out by many five years ago: US forces engaged in house to house combat in the streets of Baghdad, compelled by the same twisted logic that drove the Vietnam war to destroy another place on earth in order to save it. The good guys.
A condition for pulling out of Iraq, as recently announced by the President, is to leave behind a "unity government". It is under the utmost pressure to get out, and the troop "surge" option is widely understood as motivated by bloodying the enemy in order to withdraw in strength, rather than weakness. In thus manner abstract thinking in military policy terms can snuff millions of lives. .
This situation involves blatant, irreconcilable contradictions. In an autonomous country practicing democracy, the majority party rules, the minority party accepts it. But the Chalabi-Allawi-neocon-Israeli Libby lobbyers and all their enablers, from Rumpsfeld to Gates to the Republicans, to Catholics and downstate NY Jews; from Hillary to Lynn Cheney, never in their own minds being wrong, never did intend to obey this fundamental tenet of democracy. They squared their use of the term with what they anticipated being able to manipulate.
Whoever is not against them is with them. Accomplices in genocide for Israel.

Bio-physiological facts aside, is this not a line of reasoning that can be used to justify rape?
By the way, do you approve of rape, or not?
