Thanks to a question, serendipitously, I wound up doing a search on my OLD blog for certain information, and, consequently, was reminded of some good links and information from before just as pertinent to now. Since my old, first, former blog never seems to work for the public, anymore, (it's been blocked for some time), I'll include at least two links from that entry of January, 2007, regarding Iran's privatization and, at the bottom of this post, I'll link to my January 2007 entry on the hope/possibility that it just MIGHT work for someone else, since there was more information than the following two links.
So, from my blog of January, 2007, regarding Iran's privatization, "National Conference on Privatization...":
www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0701166870180809.htm
And, from July, 2006:

The question in Iran was not privatization, but, who will get what, as usual, competing and conflicting interests.
All preceding economic ties with the West in Iran's government, documented in the link, above, encompass, as well, a previous deal between Cheney's Halliburton and Iran's nuke negotiator, Cyrus Naseri and Oriental Oil Kish at the same time Naseri represented Iran when Sy Hersh was shouting, as usual, about bombing Iran.
And, then, my link currently to Morgan Stanley and the Persia Fund, as well as Iran's Parsian, Citigroup and Turkey's Akbank, just to name a few overlapping ties with the "enemy," not to mention Iran's many militias occupying Iraq and in it's government.
The entire narrative regarding Iran in the US media being completely fictional, including past history related to Iran's invasion of Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war, which I've had on many previous posts.
Fast forward to the immediate present.
In my entry of March 26, 2008, I highlighted a "deal" (see link within that entry) made between Cheney and Iran/Iraq's Maliki government and some of the other reasons I enumerated to eliminate/neutralize Sadr's militias:

And on April 14, 2008, a followup entry:
www.karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/04/iraq-exit-strategy.html
As everybody clearly sees, the first part of this arrangement, Sadr's military liquidation or neutralization occurring, an ongoing process.
Next, comes the battle for Mosul/Kirkuk and parallel regime change in Iran to make all policies congruent.
So, "Troops Mass as Attack on Mosul Looms":

This comes simultaneous with Turkey's military bombing the PKK in Kurdistan.
Who is going to be fighting whom?
In conjunction with the above military maneuvers and developments and NOT having anything to do with bombing Iran, as the spin meisters and disinformation specialists from before continue and would have you believe, the following, "Warships Guard Iraq's Economic Lifeblood":
www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/refid/E2F-05-05-2008/article/30678
Following immediately behind all this are deals with the oil majors, scheduled for June:

As well as "mopping up" exercises represented above, the World Economic Forum is meeting in Egypt's Sharm El Sheik, May 18.
A complete list of their "prestigious" international attendees and a virtual who's who of the propertied class at their website, available in Arabic, as well:
www.weforum.org/en/index.htm
Effectively, they thumb their noses at recent Egyptian protests:

It doesn't take complicated conspiracy theories to follow these overlapping and competing economic interests, including Iran's privatization and why Iran's Sadr and Ahmadimidgets overtly sectarian program, conflicting, competing militias and economic interests represent a threat and impediment to "stability and progress" as indicated above.
Furthermore, Ahmadimidget's sectarian and Fascist militias are now aligned with and protected internationally by Russia, due, in part, to Western attempts to encircle and strangle Gazprom.
For additional context and why there will be more, not less, militarization and polarization, related to all of the above, "Possible Outcomes of a Georgia-Abkhazian War":
www.en.rian.ru/analysis/20080505/106586596.html
And "....Georgian Troops Amassed in Border Area":
www.en.rian.ru/world/20080504/106491478.html
At the outset of the unilateral Bush-Cheney invasion and US-Iran's subsequent occupation of Iraq, a number of events happened that were not supposed to happen, unplanned, unanticipated, thus, necessitating adjustments and strategic, tactical shifts to try to accommodate these new, developing, fluid circumstances.
Iraq resistance was not supposed to be as militant and enormous as it was.
Putin was not supposed to re-nationalize Gazprom, as well as policies related to this direction.
Turkey's strong resistance and opposition to AKP policies was not supposed to happen and Turkey's independent minded military was not supposed to intervene and bomb the PKK.
And, Ahmadimidget was not supposed to become President in Iran.
These are but a few of the important highlights, with many more ramifications.
So, now, this is where "we/they" stand, above, and the policy shifts in response to all these developments.
