1. He realizes he doesn't have long to live, and may as well enjoy himself. n/t

2. He depends on Bush to keep him alive

So you can be assured anything this thug utters comes from a script.

Blackwater protects him for christ sakes. If that job was left up to actual Iraqis he would have been dead years ago.

3. Right !

The majority of the Iraqi people hate him. They see him, rightfully so, as the puppet of George W Bush. Bush is attempting to help him thru a very difficult election.

4. i realize that to a certain extent he is a tool of the bush administration

but i still see him going against them once in awhile on things like timetables and, there were other things i cant remember now that i read about, and it seemed like through it all, he was attempting to do something good for his country.

that was just my perception tho, could be completely off.

5. Even Chalabi had a silly moment

when he "went native" years ago, calling for the ouster of American occupiers, Iraq for Iraqis, blah de blah. Hamfisted playacting to boost his cred before the elections (and lessen the likelihood he'd get whacked). Didn't work and didn't last long. Nothing is what it seems over there.
