Did We Get Sucked Into Iraq By Iran?
that darling of the neocons Ahmad Chalabi, has had a quite a fall from grace, no? Chalabi is the Iraqi expatriate and founder of the Iraqi National Congress who provided much prewar "intelligence " to the US with regards to WMD's and the Saddam "threat". he was getting millions from the US and was considered to be a good candidate to head the new Iraq, as well as being Cheney and Wolfowitzs' pet - but who was leading who around on a leash?

Chalabi and Iran apparently played us like a fiddle, if this report is accurate. the ironic thing is that by being on the US shit list, Chalabi now appears to the Iraqis as someone who stood up to the US - he gets to play both sides of the street. seems the Bushies wanted to go into Iraq so bad, they never questioned the source of the info they were getting. yet another intelligence coup for the administration http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...chalabi22.html |

it's obvious bush's as stubborn as a mule (and almost as smart). he'll never do what he doesn't want to, no matter how important it is for america, and getting him to do what he already wants to do is patheticaly easy, even if it's bad for america. the iranians saw bush coming long before he saw them and he fell right into thier hands. manipulating weak leaders is a story as old as rome but this is what happens when a president doesn't read, has no sense of history, and cares about neither.
