Please don't tell me you're suprised Chalabi is toast.....!

Remember that Chalabi was tried in abstentia in Jordan for embezzling 3 million dollars. He fits in very nicely with the Bush crowd.

Chalabi was Wolfowitz's protoge. They're old friends, and Wolfie got the other neocons to rely on Chalabi's intel to plan the fiaso in Iraq. Chalabi was given over a hundred million dollars to overthrow Saddam from within, and failed. Heck.. not big bucks

Chalabi was brought to Iraq after the fall of Baghdad with 800 armed thugs...his private army. They are the ones who staged the statue scene and fooled most of the nation into believing thousands were cheering alongside them. No way. (Aerial photos are avialable). Chalabi was getting 335,000 bucks a MONTH of your and my tax money all this time.

Uh, oh. He wanted to be the new President forever and the Iraqis said no. So, he started making demands to show up Bush: like sovereignty for real and oil control. Down he went. But he never should have been up.

TVNL had Chalabi 'captured' a year ago... predicting this would happen. He's been on their "captured page since last summer." Check it out. Why does the alternative media know what the corporate media refused to report? Duh! Check out the page:

This administration thought Henry Kissinger was a good choice to chair the 9/11 commission. This administration will stay with their choises no matter how bad they turn out to be. So yes, I'm surprized that they dumped Chailabai.

Apparently, Ahmad is rather shocked as well.

Gee, you got scheming and conniving with a ruthless bunch of corrupt thieves, and now you can't believe they turned on you, Ahmad? Surely you lived in the U.S. long enough (about 44 years) to have heard the phrase "There's no honor among thieves." Did you ever wonder what it might mean? Wonder no more.

The news media still has not mentioned the sham celebration!

Chalabi, of course, is the roly-poly perpetrator of intelligence fraud and the convicted bank embezzler who still hopes to be leader of Iraq. Lately, Chalabi has scuttled into a would-be alliance with Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the scowly fatwa man. In doing so, he’s had the temerity to criticize the United States, leading some fuzzy thinkers to believe that Chalabi, whose puppet strings are made of steel, might be trying to show some independence from Washington. Well, says Rubin, who served as one the Pentagon’s liaisons to Chalabi, that’s exactly what they want you to think:

“Much of the information he collected was to roll up the insurgency and Ba'athist cells. It caught people red-handed," said Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon adviser who is now at a conservative think-tank, the American Enterprise Institute.

"By telegraphing that he is not the favorite son of America, the administration will bolster him, showing he is his own man."

In other words, it’s all a big con game. The still-neocon-dominated Pentagon—which this week stopped funding Chalabi’s INC —is playing its last card, hoping that it can boost Chalabi’s sagging fortunes by pretending to sever ties with him. That, the neocons hope, will allow Chalabi to strengthen his ties to Sistani, the king-making mullah who, they hope, holds Iraq’s fate in his wrinkled hands.
