Good one for Max- On Chalabi

[mburbank]

In todays news, The sovereign government of Iraq has 'postponed' counterfitting charges against Chalabi, which I think were a ruse to keep him out of the country. He called the bluff, returned, and the charges evaporated. Not so for the murder charges against his nephew.

It all reminds me of a Bill Mahr O.J. joke, "The LAPD are so incometent they can't frame a guilty man." Chalabi is a major operator and a chamelion willing to play whatever side for whatever they might give him. Iraq is currently so fragmented you can never tell where a scheme is coming from and while it would be fun to say it's all really coming from (or at least approved by) our own government, I think that's saying they're more competent than the LAPD, and I don't think that's the case.
