Chalabi Meets Rice in Washington

WASHINGTON (AP) - Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi, whose relations with the United States have ranged from hot to cold, met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Wednesday in a faceoff seen as political rehabilitation.

Chalabi also is to meet with Vice President Dick Cheney and Stephen Hadley, the White House national security adviser.

The talks at the State Department were declared off-limits to reporters and photographers, which is unusual since cameras are regularly permitted to record the start of Rice's meetings with prominent foreign visitors. But without explanation the cameras were excluded, as they were when Rice met with Chalabi two years ago when she was President Bush's national security adviser.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called the visit ``something curious.'' In a Senate speech Tuesday he cited reports Chalabi was under FBI investigation on suspicions he leaked U.S. intelligence to Iran.

7. Least of the reasons to dislike the man

Really, with so much substantial stuff to use, why pick on a physical characteristic?

8. There was another thread about Cha-Liar recently.

It called him "the man with 9 lives" (like a long-lived cat).

I couldn't believe it! Didn't the US try its very, very hardest to get rid of this man? I think L. Paul Bremer had his computer confiscated. Cha-Loser was thrown out in the street.. I think his son was involved somehow.

I think Chalobby was the minister of Oil for a while. (shakes head) very strange story.

And now he's on top again? It just goes to show you, Washington likes a Survivor.

10. Chalabi Tries to Rehab His Image

WASHINGTON (AP) -

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi, launched his quest for political rehabilitation Wednesday with a meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and a polite welcome from the White House.

Declaring after a half-hour meeting with Rice that it went "very well," Chalabi brushed aside questions by reporters on whether he had given misleading information to the Bush administration before the war with Iraq.

"It's more important to look to the future than to the past," Chalabi said.

12. Wonder what table talk is like, big lie after lie from both sides. It's

hard to determine which is the most corrupt, Clalabi (wonder what bush's nickname for his dear old friend is?) or Bush and Rice. Hope they are serving: Mushroom clouds with CIA secret sauce and Mission Accomplished OIL and vinegar salad.
