I daresay that M. Gana was saying Derrida was to
'blame" for the concept. Besides why do you use such
moral terms in this matter. it has no place at all. If
you read Of Grammatology you will see Derrida does
play with the term and make a long winding path to
using it. Deleuze sees repetition linked to duration
and the model of the infinite leap a la Kierkegaard.
This is in MP. Also to say That is what Post
structuralism is About is rather drastic dont you
think. Post structuralism must also include
Baudrillard and Lyotard's rendition of these terms and
their links. Then there is Levinas who Derrida does
not neglect but I dare he represses him out of dear.
In Deleuze ethics is absent so there is a return to
the political ethical instead, and that is precisely
where the Levinas and Derridean concepts of difference
and deconstruction part company with Deleuze and his
literalists readings of the BWO. See the interview
with Derrida regarding this matter. One must not
conflate these two very different notions of la
differance and difference. Also JAmeson does a good
take on this in The Political Unconscious

-------------
Derrida is not to blame for iterability. The term is
technical and means 
exactly what deleuze wants us to understand: it's
repetition with a
difference. That is what POST-structuralism is about:
with every iteration
the structure expands.
