__RUSSIA WIDENS AND DEEPEN ITS WAR ON IRAQ__
`
Excerpts from...Putin’s letter to the [puppet] Prime Mini-
ster of Iraq
`
http://www.kremlin.ru/eng/text/docs/2008/03/162386.shtml
`
“Russia has always taken the view that the process of bring-
ing peace to Iraq [= the subjugation of the Iraqi people]
needs to have the understanding and support of Iraq’s neigh-
bours and of the entire international community [=including
our "partner" The Superpower].
`
"We see [puppet] Baghdad’s initiative to hold expanded multi-
lateral meetings on Iraq as a positive step. As you know,
Russian representatives take an active part in [puppet] mini-
sterial forums and in the working groups set up on the basis
of their decisions. We will continue this work in coordina-
tion with the Iraqi [puppet] leadership.
`
"I would also like to confirm our interest in developing mu-
tually beneficial ties with Iraq in all different areas. We
have made progress in this respect of late. The agreements
signed following the meeting of the Russian-[puppet] Iraqi
Commission for Trade, Economic and Science and Technology
Cooperation – the Memorandum of Intent on Developing Trade,
Economic and Science and Technology Cooperation, and the
Intergovernmental Agreement on settling [puppet] Iraq’s
debts to Russia on earlier loans – are, in our view, a good
foundation upon which to develop our partnership.
`
"Our companies are ready to make a greater contribution to
rebuilding and modernising [puppet] Iraq’s infrastructure,
above all in the energy and oil and gas sectors, areas in
which we have much experience and have already laid good
groundwork for the future. Promising areas of work include
the contract for developing the Western Kurna-2 oilfield and
the project to reconstruct the Kirkuk-Banias oil pipeline.
I hope that Russian companies’ active resolve to develop co-
operation will receive the [puppet] Iraqi leadership’s sup-
port.
`
"In the interests of intensifying our bilateral ties and in
accordance with the agreements we have reached, Russia is
expanding its diplomatic presence in Iraq. The Russian Co-
nsulate in Erbil, which opened in November 2007, will, we
hope, become an important channel for facilitating coopera-
tion with Iraqi Kurdistan. We also plan to reopen our con-
sular mission in the south of Iraq, in Basra, in the fore-
seeable future.”

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Heightening Vigilance against Im-

`
"In order to dispel illusion about imperialism, it is im-

nature.
`
"Imperialism never abandons its aggressive nature as it is
reactionary.
`
"If there be any change [by] the imperialists, it is [only
1n] a method for aggression....
`
"Their method[s]...become craftier, more heinous and decep-
tive than ever before."
