Could we turn Ahmad Chalabi into *'s Willie Horton?

[DemoVet]

He could be the poster boy for the whole Iraq mess. After all, the administration paid him lots of dollars to spy on us for the Iranians and feed the neocons the WMD info they wanted to hear. And didn't the "George Washingon" of Iraq have a nice comfy seat next to Pickles at the SOTU address? And just who gave him all of that information that he passed on to the Iranians anyway? Hey, wouldn't that be providing aid and comfort to a member of the Axis of Evil, or, to use a more appropriate term, TREASON?
In any case, it goes to the heart of this administration to make key judgements in proscecuting that war on "terra". After all, because they listened to this slimebucket thousands have died and are dying, Iraqis and Americans, Iraq has turned into a recruiting poster for "te-rists", the country will now be more dangerous to us now that it looks like it's on its way to becoming a Jihadist Theocracy and a new sanctuary for al-Queda. Also, billions that could have been spent here on emergency services, port and air security, and other general domestic security needs have flowed and will continue to flow into the bottomless pit that our occupation of Iraq has now become.
Lotsa red meat here.

1. Actually the picture of Rummy and Saddam shaking hands would evoke

that image moreso.

But the image Chalabi evokes for me is "We killed the Rosenbergs for this?"

[Fovea]

2. Chalabi is the gateway into the conspiracy

He is the neocon's man on the ground, arrest him, threaten him with extradition to Jordan, and listen to the aria.

He is like John Dean, without the ethics.
We should freeze his accounts, and grab him.

3. Chalabi - He put the "con" in "Neo-con"

5. I didn't mean to use Chalabi for racial purposes,

but just as Bush Ist used Horton as the poster boy for Dukakis' supposed softness on crime, use Chalabi as the poster boy for Bush II's utter incompetence in running our foreign policy and the impact this has had on national security and our economy.

6. Yes! That should be Moveon.org's next ad!

The cabal knew who Chalabi was. They knew he was a crook. They knew he fled Jordan to avoid imprisonment. They knew he embezzled millions of $$$ from Jordan, BUT Cheney just LOVED the man. Wolfowitz and Rummy embraced the thief, even after learning who and what he was. Man, that would be a perfect ad. Pictures of Cheney, Bush, Wolfowitz, and Rummy...hugging the crook. They need to explain how much money we tax payers paid that man. They need to tell the sheeple about Chalabi working with Iran. WhoooooEEEEEEE! That would be PERFECT. Let the sheeple know that this war in Iraq was based on info from the lying, crook Chalabi. Great idea. Moveon.org needs an idea....why not send them one?

7. Won't make any impact.

People are barely cognizant of who Osama is.

They aren't going to have a clue why MoveOn is talking about Chalabi. It would strictly be singing to the choir.

There are better ways to spend money, ad time, mindshare, and political capital.

9. "Bush gave millions of your tax dollars to this crook"

"Bush gave millions of your tax dollars to this crook and his friends" and show Chalabi's photo.

"This crook then gave American secrets to Iran."

If people don't recognize him, so be it.

[Lefty Pragmatist]

10. That aint half bad.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. They would know him

by the time Moveon.org and the Dem talking heads are finished with him. ;) The media and the repubs would be foaming at the mouth over it. The cabal thinks they got away with something as far as Chalabi goes. Just ignore him and he never existed. Their usual game.

[union_maid]

8. We don't have to make him into anything...

He is the poster boy for the incompetence of this administration.

12. Bush, Chalabi, and Hussein, the GOP Trifecta

Meanwhile the Saudis and Bin Ladens get off scot-free.
