Swindler On A Gusher (Chalabi Iraq's New Acting Oil Minister)
Maureen Dowd - NY Times 4/30

Did Americans fight and die to help the Thief of Baghdad?

WASHINGTON

The Iraqis have thrown us another curveball.

Ahmad Chalabi - convicted embezzler in Jordan, suspected Iranian spy, double-crosser of America, purveyor of phony war-instigating intelligence, is the new acting Iraqi oil minister.

Is that why we went to war, to put the oily in charge of the oil, to set the swindler who pretended to be Spartacus atop the ultimate gusher?

Does anybody still think the path to war wasn't greased by oil?

1. "Rose petals and sweets"
That is what your troops will be greeted w/. A Chalabi.

I think we should load him into a helicopter and fly him to Jordan and drop
him off to explain the 20 million or so that he looted from that country.

He is the neo cons boy.
