Chalabi Opens Big Fat Trap: Iraq Lies? Who Cares,"We Are Heroes in Error"!

<Mr Chalabi, by far the most effective anti-Saddam lobbyist in Washington, shrugged off charges that he had deliberately misled US intelligence. "We are heroes in error," he told the Telegraph in Baghdad.

"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. The Bush administration is looking for a scapegoat. We're ready to fall on our swords if he wants."

His comments are likely to inflame the debate on both sides of the Atlantic over the quality of pre-war intelligence, and the spin put on it by President George W Bush and Tony Blair as they argued for military action.>

such a good corporate man

"What was said before is not important"
"We are heroes in error,"


pretty scary stuff

But, your honor, I'm a hero in error.

4. They took the word of this fool
over Hans Blix. Now he and his best buddy just got awarded a fat (is there any other kind?) Pentagon contract even though they've only been in business a few months.

Heroes in error? No, more like war criminals and war profiteers.

6. I hear you, but...
You are a hero in truth and so you can't get tired yet. You didn't come this far to give up now. Take heart that your voice *is* being heard and history is will be the judge of these group of thugs-- and trust me, it won't be kind.

8. I think Chalabi is in for a very messy... retirement.
There's a civil war coming for Iraq, and Chalabi's going to be caught right in the middle of it. Getting rid of his group will be the only thing all Iraqis can agree upon.

10. I agree Cat...
Chalabi is too greedy and stupid to know he has a target as big as his fat ass on his back.
