Laura Bush and Chalabi picture

Bush's 2004 State of the Union Address to a Joint Session of the United States Congress at the Capitol. (L-R) top row: Dr. Ahmed Chalabi, Iraqi Governing Council, and Hoshyar Zebari, Iraqi Interim foreign minister; bottom row: Rend al-Rahim, Iraqi senior diplomatic representative; First Lady Laura Bush; and Dr. Adnan Pachachi, president of the Iraqi Governing Council.

Where is Chalabi ??

laundering, after he was seen sucking up to the Sadr militia

his (cousin? son? nephew?) Salem Chalabi also has a warrant out from the new Iraqi government for murder

Appears Allawi is consolidating his power. Get rid of any potential challengers. Get the Americans to go into Najaf and Falluja and get rid of the most violent opposition and he will be almost ready to declare himself the next dictator of Iraq.

he definitely is not in Iraq. Can't imagine where he could have gone to.

can someone tell me if this is really from 2004 ? or was it from 2003 ?

It's from 2004:

Great shot of them together and it was 2004. It wasn't until late spring we realized that Chalabi was a crook

it's so funny how right wingers tried to make something out of the kerry pics like this jane fonda one and some others from years ago.

but this chalabi pic including others where gwbush and other administration officials are far worse. so is that pic of saddam with rumsfeld.

and i actually like the kerry pics that right wingers think are so horrible.

I'm sure not all Vietnam Veterans came back in favor of the war.

...The guy on Laura Bush's right looks like he could pass for a New Jersey Senator, IMO.

...just kidding. that's a real photo for sure, all the world witnessed it live on the t.v. machine. that night they might as well have had chalabi holding her hand or slipping her the tongue. they framed this pose deliberately, back when it was cool to suck up to chalabi.

lots of dignitaries get into photos with scoundrels, can't be helped sometimes, but this was no mere accident or random meeting 'in a handshake line'. if it had been hilary and chalabi, they'd have it put on the dollar bill. someone will swear this is photoshopped, like the republican attempt to show kerry standing next to jane fonda at a podium, in a cheap photoshop 'gag' photo

murder. Wow! Maybe they will be hanging out together.
