What I said. Rumsfeld's plan was wrong in the first place.
Rumsfeld's plan was to train and equip — and then transport to Iraq — some 10,000 Shia and Sunni freedom fighters led by Shia exile leader Ahmed Chalabi and his cohorts in the INC, the multi-ethnic anti-Saddam coalition he created.
And there's where it went wrong. Chalabi provided 'intel' on these invisible WMDs. Months after Chalabi's evidence has still not been proven he still receives over $300,000 a month from our government. Chalabi is no friend to this nation of states. He merely applied the scare tactic of WMDs that did not exist to require our Armed Forces to remove Saddam Hussein. This was a vendetta between two men of the same nation. We should have stayed out of it. Now that we haven't, I support any plan that dilutes Chalabi's power in Iraq. It's not like ten years from now the nation will be a republic, democracy, or any form of Western government. No, it will be an Islamic theocracy
If you get your way it will.
