It’s hard to get a grasp on the latest Ahmed Chalabi saga. This Robin Wright piece reads like an obituary, but the TV shot of the busted Chalabi picture in yesterday’s “raid” seemed a bit photo-optish to me.
Anyway, you gotta love one of Chalabi’s classics:
“We are heroes in error,” he told the Daily Telegraph of London in February. “As far as we’re concerned, we’ve been entirely successful. That tyrant Saddam is gone and the Americans are in Baghdad. What was said before is not important.”
Great line. With material like that, Chalabi he can always hook up with a talk radio slot at WGOP if all else fails for him. He’d fit right in.
