Another fine mess we have gotten ourselves into. Turns out our intelligence services have picked up increased contact between Chalabi and the Mullahs in Iran, which has caused "grave concern" within this admin. He has been cozying up to the Mullahs in Iran while trying to maintain "informant status" with the US. The problem is that this is a power play on his part which is dangerous to the US. Chalabi is solidifying his status in the strong Shia community for the elections. So whats the big damn deal?? The pipe dream was that Saddam would fall, democracy would gain hold in Iraq, and the Mullahs and Syria would fall through the domino effect. Miscalculation as usual on part of the US govt when it comes to the Middle East. If a strong Shia nationalist govt takes hold, Iran it turns out will be thanking and praising Bush and the neocons every day. Iran becomes 10 times stronger with a Shia nationalist party in Iraq, American troops eventually gone, and a free pathway directly to Syria. In the mean time Russia is making strong public statements of support for Iran. Why you ask?? To preempt another "WMD" attack on Iran by W and the neocons. With Saddam gone, now we can finally have an even stronger geo strategic alliance between Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Yep we are a lot fucking safer with Saddam gone!!!
Al-Qaida strong in Iraq, with the very likelyhood of a strong Mullah style Shia nationalist party having a majority in Iraq emboldening the Mullahs in Iran, strong ties with Syria, and Russia building nuclear reactors for Iran. Anyone here feel much safer with Saddam gone??
It was wrong for Cheney and the white house to have any faith in Chalabi. He's been known in the politcal circuits as the "Rolex man"! All this guy wants is money. he is getting a hefty salary from the US government (somewhere in the neighborhood of $400,000/year!). I also heard he was charged as a bank rubber in Jordan! Now someone please tell me why our administration picks these crooks to help us rebuild Iraq? No wonder it is in such a mess!
Where does it state that "our intelligence services have picked up increased contact between Chalabi and the Mullahs in Iran, which has caused "grave concern"". I couldn't find the intel claim or the "grave concern" scare quotes in the article. Did you get the Chalabi / Iran "grave concern" information from the same source/tinfoil hat as your wacky EvilBush(tm)- Nick Berg conspiracy theory? Just asking. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about Iran, word is that VileCheneyRumsfeld(tm) has commanded EvilBush(tm) to invade just before November.
I forgot to include this link in the original post. I know how disappointed you must be to learn of this since you had so much faith in Chalabi's intelligence. Sorry to disappoint you!!
