I don't know what to think. That whole part of the world is so full of liars and double-dealers that it gives me a headache

MM..you've hit it right on the head.

So much duplicity and out and out lying, there's no way anyone can know what to think.

I do find it 'curious' that our "go to guy" is now our supposed enemy.

I've got to wonder if both sides didn't use each other to justify their desired ends? Or our role by this point was to be more show of force rather than an ongoing use of force. Who outside of the administration could take the fall for that shortcoming. Hmmmmm, the idiot that gave the info on tons of WMD's and other overstated weapons programs, the welcoming of us into their culture, the reduction of hostilities once Saddam and his sons were out of the picture.....do I need to go on?

He has not been our "go to guy" since right after the fall of Saddam. It was recognized right off the bat that he was not liked by the Iraqi people and that he'd never be elected or accepted.

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.
