Neo-cons adopt the ways of their Stalinist forbearers.

::::::::

The Neo-cons who still call the shots in Iraq have heavily borrowed from the Stalinist and Trotskyite ways of their actual and ideological parents and grandparents. From news censorship to forged documents and government-supplied propaganda to fifth column operations, the Iraq war has been marked by strategies that were practiced by the Soviets in Eastern Europe. And the execution of Saddam Hussein is no exception.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Scott Stanzel said of the execution of Saddam: "That is a matter for the Iraqi people; we are observers to that process. They are a sovereign government and they will make their own decisions regarding carrying out justice." Saddam was transferred to the Sh'ia-dominated Iraqi puppet government by U.S. military forces. Incredibly and laughably, the U.S. government said it had no one present during Saddam's execution.

On June 16, 1958, the Soviet and their Hungarian puppet government of Janos Kadar jointly announced that deposed Hungarian Prime Minister Imre Nagy and three of his government's officials -- Pal Maleter, Miklos Gimes, and Jozsef Szilagyi -- were executed by the Hungarian puppet regime. They were executed in a secret location after they were seized outside the Yugoslav embassy in Budapest, transferred to safe custody in Romania, and subjected to a show trial overseen by the KGB.

It was announced by the Iraqi puppet government of Nouri al-Maliki that Saddam is to be buried in a secret grave. The U.S. occupation forces were reported looking for someone to take custody of Saddam's personal belongings. Later, Saddam's family announced that the former president was to be buried next to his sons in a family grave in Awja, Saddam's hometown, near Tikrit. Maliki and his Sh'ia zealots were likely overruled by the U.S. occupation authorities on the secret grave gambit. This means the insurgency now has a shrine.

Imre Nagy was buried in a secret grave. He was reburied with full honors in a public grave in 1989. His widow received Nagy's personal belongings a few days after his execution.
