May 22, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Jordan's King Abdullah fueled the U.S. move against Iraqi leader Ahmed Chalabi by providing bombshell intelligence that his group was spying for Iran, The Post has learned. An explosive dossier that the Jordanian monarch recently brought with him to White House sessions with President Bush detailed Mafia-style extortion rackets and secret information on U.S. military operations being passed to Iran, diplomats said.

Looks like Bremer might be (at best) an enabler of Kofi's Kriminal Enterprise in order to preserve his global-guru status and a lifetime of A-list status on the Upper East Side cocktail party circuit.
Or (at worst) he's dirty himself. Is it possible he's laid down with enough of these dogs that he's got some fleas?
How else would one explain his efforts to impede the investigation?
Actually..
he's a triple agent and Bush is doing the ole rope-a-dope thing on the Iranians..
again ;-)
When will they ever learn to stop misunderestimating "W"?
Just remember that Jordan backed Saddam in the Gulf War and acted as a conduit to sell illegal oil exports. There are wheels within wheels. I am skeptical about Jordan and its loyalties. Jordan was also not supportive of our invasion of Iraq and supplied "freedom fighters" who crossed the border to help Saddam.
We aren't just taking his word for it, and Bush is acting instead of covering it up. Really, some of you folks need to have a little faith in our intelligence agencies. Just because YOU don't know the big picture doesn't mean that NOBODY knows.
Oh? Explain. I guess I'm too dense to get it.
I don't think anyone is trying to cover up the Oil for Food scandal on behalf of the US. If we were, we would never have exposed the scandal in the first place, but simply used it as blackmail for UN cooperation in Iraq.
It would be surprising for Bremer to join Kerry, since the Democrats have wanted the US to give his job (the civil leader of Iraq) to a group from the UN for the past year.
Just a feeble attempt at humor that doesn't always come across..but, it could be like this..
Chalabi is Bush's guy and the Iranians know that so Bush and the Big C conjure up a plot to have him be a double agent and 'sell out' to the Iranians.
The Iranians bite but they're not totally stooopid, so they're become skeptical. Enter the Jordanian cat and he exposes the Big C as a sellout.
In order to complete the rope a dope, the Bushies have to dump on the Big C to give the Iranians the needed assurance that the Big C is indeed with them.
All tongue in cheek of course but could be like the Pelican Brief or the Condor. A perfectly innocent scenario done in jest that turns out to be, gulp, true.
Wait a minute, someone's knocking on the door and there's a black helicopter circling.
Gotta go.
;-)
"Uriah Heep" Chalabi was running the classic "Intelligence for sale" scam. Every con artist and their cousin came crawling out of the woodwork to cash in. The only law that prevails in that part of the world is socialistic Darwinism: "survival of the fittest" .......the most cunning arm themselves any way they can in order to destroy the weak.
State and CIA were on to him but their assessments of Chalabi were summarily dismissed by Dept of Defense honchos, and a faction that despises the US State Department.
Chalabi was seen as a peddler hawking self-serving information who was obsessed with his own financial motives. He was a constant lobbyist on Capitol Hill and helped get a bill passed that paid him gargantuan US tax dollars totalling some $92 million. He was receiving $340,000 of our tax dollars a month til recently.
Savvy people know denizens of the Mideast cesspool crawl the globe as agents, double agents and triple agents, selling information to the highest bidder. They switch loyalties easily-----when it becomes more profitable.
Chalabi's London-based exiles, organized as the INC, facilitated the effort to feed bogus intelligence to the Pentagon and the CIA. After the US invaded Iraq, our military could not even find the alleged agent network Chalabi said he ran. Chalabi's explanation?.." They are in hiding"..........
One more sign Chalabi was untrustworthy, but it came too late.
Bump for later read......
Yes, it is stupid. They should wait for matters to unfold before backing this guy. Until this week I thought he was an asset. Now I have doubts.
I'm shocked that such a reputable outfit like the NY Post would lie.
"Your winnings, sir".
Face it, you just do not like this war and you let it cloud your judgment. I assume here that you are what you say your are in your moniker and are not something else altogether.
I'm with you
From what I've been reading .. I don't trust Chalabi .. but the intell report from Abdullah sounds like they wanted Chalabi gone and gone fast
In the ME, you only believe half of what you see and NONE of what you hear.
Chalabi screwed the Jordanians with that bank deal. Putting the screws to him in Iraq is just getting some of their own back.
And life goes on in the land of the Islamofascists....
I think that some in his group have provided useful information and are pretty good guys, and some in his organizaion are some pretty bad guys. I think we've just figured out which are which.
I don't like Chalabi, never have, but I really don't think the guy is some kind of superspy. I think he's a greedy, powerhungry guy who had delusions of grandure and couldn't quite cut it.
What is the trustworthiness of the supposed Chalabi quote, " They are in hiding".
Where did you get that quote??
