The neo-conservatives always contended that the United Statesinvaded Iraq to bring “democracy” (from the barrel of a gun). Seems like if not democracy, at least the greatest hits of the US judicial system are indeed being implemented in (still occupied) Iraq; torture (as WikiLeaks has amply demonstrated) and the death penalty. Talk about liberation.

A newly released WikiLeaks document on Iraq and the new political alignment between Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki both provide fresh evidence that General David Petraeus’s war against Shi’ite militias in 2007-2008 was a futile exercise.

The announcement came just as US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither was upping the pressure on the government of China to agree to a substantial revaluation of the Yuan, a move that would do little for the embattled dollar but cause great harm to China’s economy. The Nobel Prize theater is part of an escalating long-term pressure strategy of Washington against China.

The Defense officials appointed by Barack Obama are the authors of the worst crimes and embezzlements carried out under previous administrations. In terms of change, only the rhetoric is new; the practices remain the same. What is most startling is the lack of interest elicited by the closure of the investigation into the missing 3.4 trillion dollars and the upgrading of those responsible for the most monumental swindle in history.
