Some people, the naysayers of the Iraq "police action," call it "Bush's War." But based on what I've read, I think we might call it "Chalabi's War."

. . .

Until recently, the hawks took Chalabi's word for everything. I spoke to my Pentagon source, a member of the neoconservative hard hats, after Chalabi was defrocked by the media. "Is Chalabi a good guy or a bad guy?"

"That's not the question. He was our guy."

. . .

"Why did he sit with Mrs. Bush during the State of the Union speech?"

"It was the only empty seat left in the balcony."

. . .

"I read somewhere that he could have been a double agent, working for both us and Tehran."

My Pentagon leaker replied: "That's the neocon story and we're sticking to it. Look, this is not a war between good and evil, it is a war between people who think Bush is doing a good job and traitors who want us to get out."

1. Unbelievable (because it's so convoluted)

Look, this is not a war between good and evil, it is a war between people who think Bush is doing a good job and traitors who want us to get out."
(I thought the 'you're either with us or against us people' had grown up on become more sophisticated....Art, you missed the memo'***pssst, pass it on*)

2. what a line of shite...

"Why did he sit with Mrs. Bush during the State of the Union speech?"

"It was the only empty seat left in the balcony."

and if you believe that, I've got a bridge across the Potomac I'd like to sell you. The seating chart for ANY government event is drafted, commented upon, edited, commented upon again, ran through the protocol folks, edited again, commented upon once again, etc. There is absolutely NO WAY that chalabi was seated behind pickles simply because there weren't any other seats. BULLSHIT!
