Das Jammern der US-Besatzer

von Redaktion @ 5:51. abgelegt unter Außenpolitik, Irak, USA, Krieg

Iraq’s Justice and Accountability Commission Head, Ahmed Chalabi

Herrje, sind die verbrecherischen Kriegsherren der USA peinlich. Da haben sie den Irak überfallen, mal eben so über den Daumen eine Million Menschen umgebracht, dabei den Kampf gegen den irakischen Widerstand verloren, Billionen an Dollar versenkt, und nun jammern sie darüber, dass sie im Irak keiner mehr leiden kann und die US-Agenten im Hunderterpack von den Wahllisten im Irak fliegen.

Ganz aktuell:

Gulf-News: US-Kommandeur fürchtet, dass die irakischen Wahlen gekidnapped werden - US-Bestzergeneral General Raymond Odierno ärgert sich darüber, dass der Iran inzwischen bessere Beziehungen zum früheren Neocon-Darling Ahmed Chalabi hat als die USA

Foreign Policy: US-Botschafter wettet auf Chalabis Iran-Verbindungen - der US-Botschafter im Irak, Chris Hill, ärgert sich, dass der vom früheren US-Militärstatthalter Paul Bremer eingesetzte Leiter der De-Baath-ifizierungskommission Ahmed Chalabi nun vom Iran beeinflusst wird

ScrippsNews: May: Wer verliert den Irak? - der zionistische Vorsitzende des “Policy Committees” des US-Kriegstreiberclubs “Committee on the Present Danger“, Clifford D. May, ärgert sich, dass der “mit dem Iran verbundene Terrorist” Ali al-Lami seine Lieblingskandidaten von der irakischen Wahlliste geworfen hat, Joe Biden das nicht ändern konnte und vergisst völlig zu erwähnen, dass Ali al-Lami nur eine helfende Hand des Neocon-Darlings Ahmed Chalabi ist.

Tja, so sieht die Presse aus, wenn man einen Angriffskrieg anfängt und verliert. Die Amis machen sich nach dem verlorenen Krieg gegen den Irak nur noch lächerlich…………………

Kommentar: Ahmed Chalabi hat eine sehr dunkle Vergangenheit und war bezahlter Propagandist für den Irak Krieg, bezahlt vom CIA. Absolut korrupt, und stahl hohe Millionen Summen im Irak von den Geldern.

In March 2002, Seymour Hersh reported in The New Yorker that “A dispute over Chalabi’s potential usefulness preoccupies the bureaucracy” within the U.S. government, “as the civilian leadership in the Pentagon continues to insist that only the INC can lead the opposition. At the same time, a former Administration official told me, ‘Everybody but the Pentagon and the office of the Vice-President wants to ditch the INC.’ The INC’s critics note that Chalabi, despite years of effort and millions of dollars in American aid, is intensely unpopular today among many elements in Iraq. ‘If Chalabi is the guy, there could be a civil war after Saddam’s overthrow,’ one former CIA operative told me. A former high-level Pentagon official added, ‘There are some things that a President can’t order up, and an internal opposition is one.’” [4]

Notwithstanding these concerns, Hersh reported that “INC supporters in and around the Administration, including Paul Dundes Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, believe, like Chalabi, that any show of force would immediately trigger a revolt against Saddam within Iraq, and that it would quickly expand.” In December 2002, Robert Dreyfuss reported that the administration of George Walker Bush actually preferred INC-supplied analyses of Iraq over analyses provided by long-standing analysts within the CIA. “Even as it prepares for war against Iraq, the Pentagon is already engaged on a second front: its war against the Central Intelligence Agency.,” he wrote.

Chinese, Russian firms invest in Serbia’s energy sector

18/02/2010

China and Russia have invested the most in Serbia’s energy infrastructure; now the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has entered the market.

By Igor Jovanovic for Southeast European Times in Belgrade – 18/02/10

Already this month, Serbian authorities have signed three energy-related contracts of strategic importance.

On Thursday (February 18th), a 150m-euro loan between the EBRD and Srbijagas was signed. The money will be used to enhance the company’s gas pipeline network and construct new underground storage in the village of Itebej in Vojvodina.

The storage facility will boast a capacity of 1 billion cubic meters for strategic and commercial use. With Srbijagas as the sole operator, the facility will ensure stability in the supply of natural gas and increase regional resilience to potential supply cuts and seasonal consumption changes.

That deal follows a February 3rd agreement between Serbia’s utility company Elektroprivreda Srbije and the China National Machinery and Equipment Corporation (CMEC) on a preliminary contract worth 800m euros for the rebuilding of the Kostolac thermal power plantm 100km southeast of Belgrade. The plant will also be enlarged in a proejct expected to be completed in 2015.

“The contract on financing of this work should be [final] within the next several months, while the contracts about carrying out the work will be signed in phases,” said Energy Minister Petar Skundric.

Co-operation on the Kostolac plant is the result of a state agreement reached between China and Serbia in Beijing in August 2009. The project envisions the revitalisation of two plant sections of 350MW, construction of another power “block” and increasing the surface digging capacity of the local Drmno strip mine to 12m tonnes of coal per year.

China’s Export-Import Bank will finance 85% of the project at a fixed annual rate of 3% over 15 years; the remaining funds will be provided by the Serbian company. This will be one the biggest investments to date in Serbia’s energy sector, Skundric said, increasing the thermal plant’s production capacity by at least 450MW……………..

Gazprom wants closer energy co-operation with Romania

18/02/2010

BUCHAREST, Romania — Economy Minister Adrian Vidianu confirmed on Thursday (February 18th) that Russian energy giant Gazprom has invited Romania’s Transgaz to join the South Stream project. Gazprom Vice-President Alexander Medvedev arrived in the country Wednesday to discuss increasing joint natural gas extraction. In addition, Gazprom is interested in building a natural gas storage facility, along with Romgaz, Romania’s natural gas monopoly. Gazprom also expressed a willingness to eliminate intermediaries in a potential future gas delivery agreement with Romania. The current deal expires late next year.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have given strong support to a long-awaited oil pipeline on the drawing board since the early 1990s, said diplomatic sources in Athens on Wednesday (February 17th).

The pipeline is expected to run from the Bulgarian town of Burgas on the Black Sea to Alexandroupolis in the northeast Aegean, bypassing the Bosporus Straits. Sources in the Greek foreign ministry blamed the most recent delays on “foot-dragging” by the new government in Sofia.
