"We know they are active in trying to undermine the Governing Council and allies of the U.S.," he said in a telephone interview.
Chalabi denied an earlier report on Al-Jazeera alleging that he had said U.S. forces were to blame for the bombing because they had failed in their responsibility to keep the area secure.
No coalition troops were in the area of the mosque out of respect for the holy site, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jim Cassella said in Washington"
Nice catch.
AFAIK Chalabi has always been totally supportive of the US and that quote just struck me as wildly out of character.
I remain a big Chalabi fan.
