What is it going to take to kill this jokers political career and cease his machinations? Like the mythical Hydra that seemed impossible to kill, sprouting two new heads every time Heracles relieved it of one, Chalabi just keeps re-emerging.
Baghdad 'Surge' Returns Chalabi To Center Stage
Political Survivor Gets Post As Public Liaison; Does Bigger Role Loom?
(Wall Street Journal, February 23, 2007, Pg. 1)
In his latest remarkable political reincarnation, onetime U.S. favorite Ahmed Chalabi has secured a position inside the Iraqi government that could help determine whether the Bush administration's new push to secure Baghdad succeeds. In a new post created earlier this year, Chalabi will serve as an intermediary between Baghdad residents seeking compensation for damage caused by security sweeps, but he is already speaking ambitiously about playing a larger role in economic, health and reconstruction efforts as well.
I want to say "Unbelievable!" but unfortunately it isn't. It's par for the course.
Folks, if we want to take our country back, more than six of us have to get pissed off.
(I'm looking for a link to the entire WSJ piece that isn't behind their subscription wall, and if I find it, I will link it. If anyone else finds it, link it in comments?)
