BUSH-CHENEY-RUMSFELD-IRAN BIG LIE

Personally, I would like to thank Layla for some excellent reporting and informative posts, and, I'm sure, I speak in behalf of others.
The following one is such a Layla-palooza, ( if that is the correct spelling for the colloquial term), that I thought it necessary to feature it at the outset of my own entry.
It sets the tone for all else that follows.

As the expression goes, one picture is worth a thousand words, or, in this case, a few pictures worth many, many thousands of fake Left opposition double and triple speak:

The Big Lie, of course, is well represented above and continues to be the Bush-Cheney-Rumseld-Iran collaboration and their totally Fascist, pseudo-Islamic, barbaric, Nazi like militias, death squads, sectarian purges, etc.

But, still, there is unwanted "blowback," repercussions, collateral damage from this insanely, wildly reactionary, Fascist alliance.
It created new, regional conflicts, alliances, threats, problems, contradictions and a backlash which needs resolution now, hence, the "mopping up" campaign about which I previously wrote, which has already begun with Sadr's disappearing militia act and Hezbollah's fake "win," really capitulation, in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

State military and economic power must be solidified, concentrated, rationalized under some sort of centralized "state" control and authority and competing, conflicting, independently controlled militias, like Barbarian hordes, cannot be allowed to roam around the greater middle east region.
This is a recipe for disaster.

In our US Presidential race, contrary, as usual, to corporate and fake Left opposition statements, the candidate who MOST reflects continuation of the above Bush policy vis-a-vis collaboration and marriage with Iran's clerical fascist regime is Obama.

But, IF Obama is a straw candidate, destined to lose, military man McCain can win.
It's decided who and which policy is going to win, then, they set about a strategy to make it happen and look like its the result of a democratic process.
Not the other way around.
The outcome predetermined.

So, both current and future, official, US policies are and will NOT be a continuation of Bush policy vis-a-vis Iran's present clerical regime and militias.
Iran's mullahs and militias will NOT have carte blanche, like they did previously with Bush.
They will be contained, curtailed, mitigated, i.e, damage control.

For anyone who thinks the present millionaire Iranian mullah club, and/or their militias represent a challenge in this process to the US military or hegemony in this matter, they are as sadly mistaken as those who do and did not understand the previous Bush policies.
Iran's mullahs will acquiesce, cooperate, reach congruency, power share, relinquish power, as the case may be, or they will cease to exist, simply put.

Over $4 TRILLION dollars, a very conservative estimate, of investment money and real assets is sloshing around the GCC, Saudi Arabia, the greater "Middle East," waiting to park itself, invest and "transform" the region into a zone of economic integration and privatization, including within Iran, from Iran's Morgan Stanley Persia Fund to Iran's newly minted private banks.
A few, minor, Iranian millionaire mullahs and their militias will NOT be allowed to hinder this process.
They are as a flea to an elephant.
So, they will either transform, collaborate, cooperate, get with the new program, which is what Sadr did, first, and, now, Hezbollah in Lebanon, or, they will be obliterated.
Pure and simple.

For an example of what I'm suggesting, the following article, "Arab Leagues Seeks Lebanon Style Solution to Iraq":

Meanwhile, a real resistance, as opposed to the fake one, above, continues elsewhere.
In Turkey, for example, another contested privatization around their major petrochemical corporation, Petkim.
In the first article, Citigroup's Akbank, of course, is mentioned in the financing of Petkim's privatization:

and

And, back in the courageous Pakistan struggle, comes a battle around the privatization of a major textile mill, whose heavy machinery, as the article mentions, was originally a "gift" from the Soviet Union:

Such "gifts" speaks volumes.
It's global loss is understatement and tragedy multiplied many, many thousands of times over, including Iraq.
