The Affair Chalabi or the Twilight of the Slack Jawed Yokels....

The raid on neocon darling Achmed Chalabi's mansion in Iraq reads like the tragic end of a great romance...
A Junior High School romance that is.
The Pentagon gave this shyster three hundred thousand a month which Achmed brazenly spends on whores and bullyboys.
He lavishly promises to bring democracy to Iraq, run the refineries full blast, and recognize Israel.
He then turns around and happily starts dickering with Iran.
After months of waste, fraud and morbid abuse, Chalabi's admirers get up the courage to cut him off...whereupon a Judge swears out a warrant to raid his mansion which induces Achmed to convene a press conference to call the Yankees " big creeps" or words to that effect.
Yup sounds like love is in the air down at Junior High U.S.A.
And not for nothing but wasn't it a hallmark of neoconservative theology to denounce alleged "naivete" of liberal democrats like George McGovern for their soft approach to world communism?
Yup the so called neocons all left the democratic party back in 1972 in search of a political home that would take a hardline on the cold war.
They all did this in the name of "realism"...y'lknow the notion of cold hard facts in service to a rational balance of power.
And these self proclaimed realists all sat like children on ritalin at the feet of Achmed Chalabi as he cynically promised them peace, democracy, and charter schools in Iraq.
And these slack jawed yokels all fell for it...and it's cost us all billions of dollars and the lives of eight hundred U.S. soldiers.
Hopefully Achmed has his thirty three million bucks in US subsidies well invested by now.
It was probably time to get off the U.S. teat anyway and start preparing for the inevitable pro - Iranian coup he hopes to lead once our army has left.
Meanwhile back in DC, Doug Feith and Paul Wolfowicz and wailing like bereft children "What went wrong! I thought he LIKED US???"

Sick
Demented
Typical...
