1. Red Herring

I think that their is more to this story than what is being told. This may be the scapegoat bush is looking for- or maybe they are setting him up as the next leader of Iraq. As you already know- the Iraqi people will not accept any leader that is liked by the USA. The more that CHALABI distances himself from the US- the better chance that he can get a leadership role and be a US puppet at the same time.

2. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

I think the Iraqi political consciousness is a bit more advanced than "The Americans hate him! He must be good!"

3. I can think of another good use for Chalabi's name . . .

. . . but Mr. Quisling's name already suffices for that.
