Apparently some people in Washington, DC call their favourite Iraqi, Ahmed Chalabi, “the greatest Arab since Mohammed”. (Link via Talking Points Memo) Mind you, it’s not a front that is going to last, as apparently the Pentagon is going to cut off the old fraud’s monthly $340,000 subsidy. I wonder if they will also take back the Iraqi secret police files his lot carried off for their whips’ black book? When you realise that it’s Chalabi and friends who got their hands on those archives, quite a few things make more sense. Like exactly where those “secret files” come from that neocon rags like the Telegraph love to publish. If Mr C’s got the order of the boot from Washington, it’s no surprise that the list of alleged oil recipients got read out in Congress just now.
