Ahmad Chalabi May Lead Iraq
Ahmad Chalabi may soon go from persona non grata to prime minister. The man who took millions from the CIA to finance his unsuccessful political party and sold the Bush administration on the weapons of mass destruction myth is being seriously considered to replace Iraq's current prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki. Chalabi would fulfill fellow Shiites' goal of getting Sunni Maliki and his party to step aside for another Shiite. Although his Iraqi National Congress never built a sustainable following and he was forced into exile, Chalabi may actually have a shot at Iraq's top job. “Ahmad Chalabi is close to all the parties and is a good candidate,” said Nahida al-Daini, a leader with the Sunni Mutahidoon party. “But accepting him will also depend on internal and external approvals.”
