How do we know Chalabi is not a friend of the United States?
Remember that---as a bonafide conservative---President Bush values loyalty, so if the administration is letting Chalabi hang out to dry, he's gotta be as dirty as the evidence shows he is.
I don't presume to speak for anyone else (sarcasm), but when my leader----I mean, of course, the President of the United States of America---decides that United States interests are better served by Chalabi talking a hike----as a conservative, red-blooded American, I snap to attention. What my President thinks is good for America, for our military, and for US national security, is paramount on my list of Top Ten Conservative Priorities.
Interesting to note the defence of Chalabi.. at the very least his is no better/worse than so many leaders in the ME...either way he is toast..move on! Give him to Jordan as a present and set an example to all. He has proven to be of no importance in the scheme of things.
