"Ahmadinejad, Maliki MUST DIE!" America's war-lusting Neo-Cons sneer through their gnashing teeth.
America is currently trying to bribe Iraqi legislators with payments of $5 million apiece, to sign the American-rights to Iraqi-oil law, and in order to do so, the US military is pushing Prime Minister Maliki to KILL all Shiite opponents to his SCIRI-dominated coalition party... even though SCIRI is more CLOSELY ALIGNED TO IRAN, than the opposition party US bombs, bullets, and Iraqi army forces are trying to dispose of! Once America gets Maliki's SCIRI coalition to sign the oil law, then Maliki can be dispossed of... and for the next 1,000,000 years (according to Senator John McCain), America will have an IRREVOCABLE RIGHT to Iraq oil... just as the United States maintains it base in GUANTANAMO, CUBA, using an ancient treaty with a long departed government there.
Notice the Washington Post's WHORE EDITOR's headline on this story (below) and just imagine if the Post took a similar tack towards YOU.
"JOHN SMITH A TRAITOR ! US says."
Not even "John Smith a TRAITOR! US Officials declare."
NO, the WHORE Washington Post drops in to the PASSIVE "US SAYS" to confer legitimacy to the story, to PROMOTE THE NOTION that Bush-Cheney administration has 100%, ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT SUPPORT in America, to EXPAND THE IRAQ WAR in to Iran.
This is TYPICAL DEMAGOGUE WAR-MONGERING technique: CONFLATING the corrupt, election-stealing, Treasury-gutting, Justice-department corrupting Bush-Cheney administration with "the United States" in sum total as a nation.
One TINY, WAR LUSTING oligarchy (albeit with the backing of a full 27% of voters) is presented in the Whore Post's headline as REPRESENTING the ENTIRE NATION's DETERMINATION TO ATTACK IRAN - on behalf of "national security" and "defending the troops", of course.
This is the WASHINGTON WHORE POST's DEMAGOGUE WAR-MONGERING, RIGHT OUT OF THE NAZI Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels playbook: Screech "THEY ARE THE ENEMY who THREATEN THE FATHERLAND!" with all your might, then bury the actual facts of the story, under a laundry list of 1,000 - - - ONE THOUSAND - US officials who have some tidbit to chime in on the message, in a narrative that sounds like "evidence" in the officialese Washington Post report, but is acutally opinion masking as reporting.
<< "Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,>>
and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." >>

SEE Karen DeYoung's TEXTBOOK EXPOSITION of WASHINGTON WHORE POST WAR-MONGERING PROPAGANDA, below. And then realize, that a week after Vice President Cheney visited Iraq, the Iraq goverment STARTED ATTACKING Shiite militia positions in Baghdad, Basra, and elsewhere throughout Iraq, even though many of those militia supporters were more restrained with Iran's government, than the SCIRI forces who are now Maliki's core supporters.

Iran Top Threat To Iraq, U.S. Says
[CLAIMS the Washington Post, using senior officials in the Bush-Cheney dominated US military chain of command to make their weak case.]
"Focus on Al-Qaeda Now Diminishing"

Last week's violence in Basra and Baghdad has convinced the Bush administration that actions by Iran, and not al-Qaeda, are the primary threat inside Iraq, and has sparked a broad reassessment of policy in the region, according to senior U.S. officials.
Evidence of an increase in Iranian weapons, training and direction for the Shiite militias that battled U.S. and Iraqi security forces in those two cities has fixed new U.S. attention on what Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates yesterday called Tehran's "malign" influence, the officials said.
The intensified focus on Iran coincides with diminished emphasis on al-Qaeda in Iraq as the leading justification for an ongoing U.S. military presence in Iraq.
In congressional hearings this week, Army Gen. David H. Petraeus said the U.S. military has driven al-Qaeda from Baghdad, Anbar province and central Iraq, and he depicted the group as now largely concentrated in a reduced territory around the northern city of Mosul.
During their Washington visit, Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker barely mentioned al-Qaeda in Iraq but spoke extensively of Iran.
With "al-Qaeda in retreat and disarray" in Iraq, said one official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record, "we see other obstacles that were under the waterline more clearly. . . . The Iranian-armed militias are now the biggest threat to internal order."
Partly in response to advice from Petraeus and Crocker, the administration has initiated an interagency assessment of what is known about Iranian activities and intentions, how to combat them and how to capitalize on them. The review stems from an internal conclusion, following last week's fighting, that the administration lacked a comprehensive understanding and a sophisticated approach.
President Bush reiterated yesterday that if Iran continues to help militias in Iraq, "then we'll deal with them," saying in an interview with ABC News that "we're learning more about their habits and learning more about their routes" for infiltrating or sending equipment.
But he also reaffirmed that he has no desire to go to war with Tehran. Saying that his job is to "solve these issues diplomatically," Bush suggested heightened interest in reaching a solution with other countries. "You can't solve these problems unilaterally. You're going to need a multilateral forum."
Iran has long been seen as a spoiler in Iraq, with such strong ties to all of the major Shiite political and militia groups, including that of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, that other Arab countries have begun to regard Iraq as almost a client state of Iran.
The recent fighting in Basra, which began when Maliki launched a military offensive against the Mahdi Army militia of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, revealed a threat and an opportunity, officials said.
U.S. military officials said that much of the plentiful, high quality weaponry the militia used in Basra and in rocket attacks against the Green Zone in Baghdad, where the U.S. Embassy and much of the Iraqi government are located, was recently manufactured in Iran. At the same time, the militia's improved targeting and tactics indicated stepped-up Iranian training.
