SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; US POLICY ON IRAN; IRAQ; THE KIRCHNERS TO 
THE US; 09/17/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Weekend international stories are related to the US policy on the 
Iranian threat; the Bush administration's alleged attempt to "shift 
the blame to its successors for the cost of its failed military 
operation in Iraq;" and President Nstor Kirchner and First 
Lady/Senator and presidential candidate Cristina Kirchner's trip to 
the US. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "The White House debate on Iran is revived" 
 
Hugo Alconada Mon, Washington-based correspondent for 
daily-of-record "La Nacisn," writes (09/17) "The White House's 
internal debate has been revived on what to do with the 'Iranian 
threat' before President George W. Bush leaves office in January 
2009. 
 
"There are two main courses of action - deepen the diplomatic option 
or attempt the armed option through selective bombings on alleged 
nuclear facilities. 
 
"US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leads a group that promotes 
continued direct talks with the Ahmadinejad administration, which is 
supported by the US Pentagon, with its operative capability 
exhausted after years of waging two simultaneous wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. However, the tough line is again promoted by VP Dick 
Cheney and his aides. 
 
"... According to 'The Sunday Telegraph's' correspondents in the US, 
US intelligence and defense officials believe that the White House 
has already adopted the toughest line, which is promoted by 'hawks.' 
" 
 
- "The US - who will pay for the damage in Iraq?" 
 
Leading "Clarn" carries an op-ed piece by international analyst 
Oscar Ral Cardoso, who writes (09/15) "Economist Paul Krugman 
clearly explained it in his recent column for 'The New York Times - 
Iraqi oil is the major piece proving the direct failure of the US 
political and military occupation... 
 
"... Krugman believes that the fact that Texas-based Hunt Oil 
Company has signed an oil exploration agreement with the Kurd 
province of Iraq has exposed that the Bush administration has more 
or less begun to accept the idea that Iraq could disappear as a 
country and become a region where ethnic and religious groups 
confront each other. Krugman wrote: 'Without a consensus to share 
oil dividends there is no Iraq, but a collection of armed gangs 
fighting for the control of oil.' 
 
"Why does the action of a sole oil company reveal so much to the 
columnist? This is because the head of the company, Ray L. Hunt, is 
Bush's partner as well as a member of a panel that counsels on 
foreign policy. In Krugman's view, Hunt should therefore have 
first-quality information on Bush's real intentions in Iraq. 
Otherwise, he would not risk signing a deal that explicitly goes 
against the republican administration's proclaimed policy - Bush had 
prioritized that Al Maliki pass legislation allowing all groups 
(Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds) to share the country's oil wealth, which 
did not go through (last week that legislation was not passed by 
Congress). 
 
"Thus, the bottom line is delaying the collapse of Iraq until after 
Bush leaves office in one year so that his successor deals with the 
Persian Gulf's 'Titanic' when its deck is sunk. According to this 
reasoning, (Bush's) successor will also have to take responsibility 
for it as well as taste the bitterness of defeat." 
 
- "Kirchner will bring his 'succession model' to the UN" 
 
Jorge Rosales, political columnist of daily-or-record "La Nacisn," 
comments (09/16) "(Argentine) President Nstor Kirchner's trip to 
New York next week will be his farewell to high world politics. 
Instead, it could represent the launching of a leading role for his 
wife... in a scenario that has proved increasingly attractive for 
her, as shown by her recent European trip. 
 
"A little more than one month before (Argentine) presidential 
elections, the attention is focused on Cristina Kirchner's words, 
gestures and attitudes. Only one piece of information is enough to 
verify this - the Council of the Americas, the symbol of US economic 
power with interests in Latin America, will grant the senator the 
treatment of a Chief of State during a luncheon at the glamorous 
Waldorf Astoria (Hotel). This is not just chance. The Susan 
Segal-led conglomerate of interests always bets without risk and 
 
today opinion surveys point out that the official candidate will 
easily win (presidential) elections in the first round. 
 
"The influential (US) Federal Reserve, led by Timothy F. Geithner, 
will invite the President's wife to a private luncheon... Bankers 
want to obtain first-hand information about the economic policy she 
will implement if she is elected president in October, what she will 
do with the country's still defaulting debt and whether the 
Argentine economy has a strong base in the framework of an uncertain 
international scenario... 
 
"... On Tuesday, September 25, (Nstor) Kirchner will grant his last 
address as president to the plenary of the 62nd UN General Assembly. 
He is expected to evaluate his administration and make a critical 
statement about the situation of the world, with a strong emphasis 
on the Malvinas issue and the criminal attacks against the Israeli 
Embassy and AMIA. 
 
"(Argentina's) complicated ties to Iran will also be highlighted in 
his address. In the same place in which US President George W. Bush 
will blame the Iranian regime of destabilizing the Middle East with 
its nuclear ambitions, one should not expect (from President 
Kirchner) more than a complaint due to the lack of Iranian 
cooperation to shed light on the attack..."
