Unimportant To Who, Mr. Power Hungry Pissant Chalabi?
The Telegraph quotes Ahmad Chalabi on shaky intelligence provided by the Iraqi National Congress:"As far as we're concerned we've been entirely successful. That tyrant Saddam is gone and the Americans are in Baghdad. What was said before is not important."You manipulated a nation of 290 million people into a war with false information on behalf of your own power mad dreams, a nation whose soldiers have done the fighting and dying for your selfish purposes, a nation that will bear the consequences of this war waged on your behalf, and you say it's unimportant? Your a remarkable man, Mr. Chalabi. A remarkably evil man.
The neocons claim our mistake in Iraq was not delivering the government immediately to Chalabi. Given what it certainly appears he has done, why would anyone think the Iraqis will be better off under Chalabi than they were under Saddam?

Search4Blogs The Me What I Am I took the name Phaedrus from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Not that I'm as smart as that Phaedrus, but I am a ghost. Sort of. I started doing odd jobs at a motel when I was 14. I lasted one day at a McDonald's, quit, lasted a lot longer at Taco Bell. I've been a gas station attendant, janitor, die cast production worker, day laborer, course maintenance at a miniature golf course, warehouse, union janitor, cabbie, statistical clerk, pool cleaner, working homeless for a few weeks (day labor), and several other things I can't remember. And I've survived. Sort of. I'm not a Marxist, but I am a genuine member of the lumpen proletariat. Largely paraphrasing the secular saint Woody Guthrie: "This shit is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 000000 (cuz this part's not true), for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught using it without my permission, will be considered mighty good friends o' mine, cause I don't give a dern. Publish it. Twist it. Rewrite it. Swing to it. I wrote it, that's all I wanted to do."  This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. |
