Of the many lame decisions President Bush has made in the fraudulently named “war on terror” the top ten would definitely include the shameful treatment of Ahmad Chalabi after the conquest of Iraq. Instead of appointing him ruler of the conquered country, Bush listened to the CIA and State Department. He chose to transfer power to the humane globalist Collin Powell. Powell and his State Department schemers managed to turn a smashing military victory into a politically correct mess.
Via Hot Air we linked to a Los Angeles Times report that the US military is talking to Ahmad Chalabi, again.
Ahmad Chalabi sits in the conference room of his compound in the Green Zone preparing to meet with Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the No. 2 U.S. military officer in Iraq.
Sunlight streams over expensive Persian carpets and modern Iraqi furniture. Chalabi wears a sober charcoal suit, but there’s a touch of the dandy in his lime-colored polka-dot tie.
Chalabi professes not to even know what the meeting is about. The general, he says nonchalantly, requested it.
As advertised, an imposing figure sporting fatigues and a shaved head strides through the door a few minutes later. “Thank you for seeing me,” Odierno says.
Ahmad Chalabi, it would appear, is back.
