BAGHDAD, Iraq – Ahmad Chalabi once argued that Saddam Hussein had doomsday weapons and that Iraq needed liberation and democracy. With that new freedom, the people of Iraq have now decided to vote him out of office.
Preliminary results of the Dec. 15 elections indicate that Chalabi, a deputy prime minister and secular Shiite who had been pegged as a possible prime minister in the next government, will not be re-elected to the new 275-member parliament, his office said Wednesday.

.....

But he fell from grace after his claims that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction were discredited. U.S. forces last year raided Chalabi's Baghdad office after he was accused of giving U.S. intelligence to Iran.

In the months leading up to the recent election, however, the 60-year-old consummate insider had slowly been working his way back. In November, he met in Washington with Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
