throw rose petals at the <strong>in</strong>vaders, spawns a break-away gang <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> “assass<strong>in</strong>ation, murder,smuggl<strong>in</strong>g and extortion,” and these ruthless thugs are naturally l<strong>in</strong>ked to Iran and Hezbollah,thus attempt<strong>in</strong>g to buttress the <strong>of</strong>t-demonstrated bogus claim outsiders are runn<strong>in</strong>g the resistance<strong>in</strong> <strong>Iraq</strong> and maybe stirr<strong>in</strong>g up trouble amongst pacified Shi’ites <strong>in</strong> southern <strong>Iraq</strong>. Instead <strong>of</strong> anexplanation <strong>of</strong> why the Brits are runn<strong>in</strong>g a pseudo-gang <strong>of</strong> phony-baloney terrorists <strong>in</strong> wigs andheaddresses—careless enough to blow their cover and get apprehended red-handed with thegoods—the British media is divert<strong>in</strong>g attention away from the exposed truth—the SAS isresponsible for at least some, probably a lot <strong>of</strong> the terrorism <strong>in</strong> <strong>Iraq</strong>—and are brazenly attempt<strong>in</strong>gto shift blame <strong>in</strong> the direction <strong>of</strong> Iran and Hezbollah, two <strong>of</strong> the usual suspects.It should be obvious the two Brits arrested—and subsequently released after British tanksknocked down the build<strong>in</strong>g where they were held—are part <strong>of</strong> a larger plan to destabilize <strong>Iraq</strong>and foment civil war. <strong>Is</strong> it possible the Brits are beh<strong>in</strong>d a series <strong>of</strong> suicide bomb<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> Basra (73people were killed and 200 wounded, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>c<strong>in</strong>eration <strong>of</strong> 17 children, on April 21,2004, and 68 were killed on June 24, 2004, to name but two) or are we to believe it was the work<strong>of</strong> the Shi’a-hat<strong>in</strong>g al-Zarqawi, determ<strong>in</strong>ed, as we are told <strong>in</strong> various audio and video tapesreleased with curiously appropriate tim<strong>in</strong>g, to wipe every Shi’ite Muslim <strong>of</strong>f the face <strong>of</strong> theearth?“British military <strong>in</strong>telligence has concluded that Iran has been support<strong>in</strong>g a local terror group runby Abu Mustafa al-Sheibani, who is blamed for the murder <strong>of</strong> at least 11 British soldiers. And <strong>in</strong>a secret report, military <strong>in</strong>telligence warned commanders that attacks on British forces werebe<strong>in</strong>g deliberately <strong>in</strong>tensified,” concludes the Moonie Times, excuse me United PressInternational. Abu Mustafa al-Sheibani is “work<strong>in</strong>g for Iran,” warns Time Magaz<strong>in</strong>e. “Accord<strong>in</strong>gto a U.S. military-<strong>in</strong>telligence document obta<strong>in</strong>ed by TIME, al-Sheibani heads a network <strong>of</strong><strong>in</strong>surgents created by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with the express purpose <strong>of</strong>committ<strong>in</strong>g violence aga<strong>in</strong>st U.S. and coalition forces <strong>in</strong> <strong>Iraq</strong>…. the U.S. believes al-Sheibani’steam consists <strong>of</strong> 280 members, divided <strong>in</strong>to 17 bombmak<strong>in</strong>g teams and death squads. The U.S.believes they tra<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> Lebanon, <strong>in</strong> Baghdad’s predom<strong>in</strong>antly Shi’ite Sadr City district and ‘<strong>in</strong>another country’ and have detonated at least 37 bombs [described as “shaped” explosive charges]aga<strong>in</strong>st U.S. forces this year <strong>in</strong> Baghdad alone.” Consider<strong>in</strong>g the track record <strong>of</strong> U.S.<strong>in</strong>telligence—from overthrow<strong>in</strong>g democratically elected governments (<strong>in</strong> Iran for example) tocustomiz<strong>in</strong>g lies <strong>in</strong> preparation for the <strong>in</strong>vasion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Iraq</strong>—we can trust the al-Sheibani campfirestory about as far as we can throw it. In other words, it has about the same degree <strong>of</strong> veracity asthe al-Zarqawi campfire story—that is to say none, s<strong>in</strong>ce virtually everyth<strong>in</strong>g the U.S. and itscorporate media dis<strong>in</strong>formation m<strong>in</strong>istries write or report about al-Zarqawi is undocumentedfear-monger<strong>in</strong>g.As should be obvious, the <strong>Iraq</strong>i resistance has almost completely stalled the Anglo-Americaneffort to pacify the country and reconstruct (or rather deconstruct) it <strong>in</strong>to an acceptable model forthe neocons and their carpet-bagg<strong>in</strong>g neolib co-conspirators who enterta<strong>in</strong>ed high hopes to“structurally adjust” the <strong>Iraq</strong>i economy and steal its natural resources—not simply oil but also itsm<strong>in</strong>erals, natural gas, phosphates, sulfur, hydropower, and other resources <strong>of</strong> commerciallyexploitable importance, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g cheap human labor. In lieu <strong>of</strong> the neocon promise that <strong>Iraq</strong>iswould welcome this thievery with open arms, the Bushites and their British collaborators arework<strong>in</strong>g to split the country <strong>in</strong>to three dist<strong>in</strong>ct pieces along religious and ethnic l<strong>in</strong>es through221
