A couple of telling quotes here:

"The key is going to be getting the concerned local citizens — and all the citizens — feeling that this government is reconnected with them," Gen. David Petraeus, the top military commander here, said Saturday. Chalabi "agrees with that."

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki named Chalabi as head of the services committee, a consortium of eight service ministries and two Baghdad municipal posts, that is tasked with bringing services to Baghdad, the heart of the surge plan.

Chalabi "is an important part of the process," said Col. Steven Boylan, Petraeus' spokesman. "He has a lot of energy."

Man, this guy must have some major blackmail material on Bush. Or they're that
desperate in the White House.

2. So, Chalabi was in the middle of feeding every Western country bad intel about WMDs in Iraq....

... and now he's back in the governing biz.

Unreal.

4. Where did his 700 man army go....the guys who were flown into Kuwait and trucked to that square in

Baghdad for the staged Hussein statue tear down.... business.
The big burly guy that was pounding on the statue in that farce can be seen in pictures of their landing in Kuwait...just next to Chalabi.
WHERE did those 700 guys go after that?

5. The official word is that they dissolved almost instantly

into the human landscape of Iraq, abandoning all pretenses of military organization and defaulting to their tribal identities.

6. Chalabi is also wanted in Jordan for embezzling $300 million from a Jordanian bank.

He has the major qualification beloved of our Republican leaders - he is a big time crook.
