There he goes. The Neo Cons former favorite toy, Chalabi will get his a$$ kicked by his creators.
According to today's
Washington Post he and the majority of members of the Interim Governing Council will have to leave their comfortable positions. Chalabi in particular screwed up:
"Chalabi has increasingly alienated the Bush administration, including President Bush, in recent months, U.S. officials said. He generated anger in Washington yesterday when he said a new U.S. plan to allow some former officials of Hussein's ruling Baath Party and military to return to office is the equivalent of returning Nazis to power in Germany after World War II."
Even more interesting is, who's actually coming in:
"Earlier this week, the coalition moved to allow former Baath Party members and military officers to return to government jobs."
I can't even measure the extent to which this is embarassing. One year after the fall of Baghdad, the puppet government is kicked out (it was good enough to sign the constitution) and the Baath party has a U.S. financed revival.
Just like in the good old 80's...
I've been away for some time; if s.o. posted this before, I apologize
