March 2, 2008 (LPAC)--Lyndon LaRouche was right about Rudy Giuliani going down, and he's right about London's plan to destroy Barack Obama.

Indeed, the media scrutiny has barely begun, and already, other damning scandals about Obama's ties to Chicago financier Tony Rezko, whose corruption and bribery trial begins in Chicago tomorrow, are bubbling to the surface. On Feb. 29, one day after the Congressional Quarterly column by Richard Whalen was published, warning that the story of Rezko and Obama "will not go away," Washington Times national security correspondent Bill Gertz published his own take on Obama's "Auchi connection.'' Gertz cited a 2004 Pentagon report, which described Nadhmi Auchi--the obscure financial angel for Rezko's deals--as a billionaire, "who, behind the facade of legitimate business, served as Saddam Hussein's principal international financial manipulator and bag man.'' Auchi has denied the Saddam ties, and says that his brother was executed by Saddam.

The report to the Pentagon's Inspector General was triggered by allegations of corruption at the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), which administered the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq from 2003 to 2004. As quoted by Gertz, Auchi was accused in the report of "unlawful activities working closely with Iraqi intelligence operatives to ... arrange for significant theft from the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program to smuggle weapons and dual-use technology into Iraq,'' and to "organize an elaborate scheme to take over and control the post-war cellular phone system in Iraq.''

Furthermore, according to the Gertz account, Auchi was linked in the Pentagon document to British intelligence. Auchi has denied all the allegations in the Defense Department probe, although his links to "former'' top MI6 officials are confirmed by a search of public records of his companies and the Anglo-Arab Organization he founded.

EIR has confirmed that the Pentagon did release a "copy of a report published by the USD/ITS, investigating the role of Nadhmi Auchi and Dan Sudnick in mobile phone licensing under the CPA in Iraq.'' Several attempts by EIR to interview Auchi, about his business ties to Rezko and the Pentagon report, have not been answered.
