I want some of what Chalabi's smoking!
I read it...still can't believe it. The ever-lovin' gall of this guy!

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- One-time U.S. ally Ahmed Chalabi shed no tears over the resignation of CIA Director George Tenet Thursday.
Chalabi accused Tenet of providing "erroneous information" about Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction.

<snip>

He provided erroneous information about weapons of mass destruction to President Bush which caused the government much embarrassment at the United Nations and his own country."


Right, and nobody would listen when you tried to tell them the truth.

3. Why doesn't Chalabi call Tenet a "hero in error"?
When Chalabi fed us bullsh*t and the neocons gobbled it up Chalabi just said "Oops!!" but Tenet is guilty of misleading? What crap!


Helen Thomas on Chalabi in February:
He achieved his goal of dethroning Saddam Hussein by feeding the Bush administration his smarmy "intelligence" that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. His neo-conservative friends here, mostly in the Pentagon, eagerly lapped up his blathering because they were looking for an excuse to attack Iraq. Chalabi, who can claim parenthood of the U.S.-led invasion, headed the Iraqi National Congress, which was formed in exile and nurtured with U.S. financial aid.
Last week, he gave an interview to London's Daily Telegraph that added to the embarrassment of the Bush administration. The fact that no weapons of mass destruction have been uncovered, he declared, is of no importance.

<snip>

"As far as we're concerned, we've been entirely successful," Chalabi told the newspaper. "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."
The Telegraph reported that Chalabi dismissed accusations that he deliberately misled the administration.
"We are heroes in error," he claimed.
