Chalabi looks as though he could easily have been Dick Cheney in a previous incarnation in the great cycle of existence. It goes without saying that there is an astonishingly accurate correspondence between the two.

Evangelicals in particular would do well to ponder the significance of this unusual element of evidence. At times truth is stranger than win.gnu.tt­er fiction.

Chalabi and his buddies - now there's some guys I'd love to have deep conversation with. Problem is, Bush and Cheney are protected from us learning anything about what they knew going into that war until well after they are dead. The law protects them but not us.

[Oonagh]

I never knew why chalabi was treated like a hero when he was nothing more than a crook.... oh yeah... he was cheneys buddy that talked this country into Iraq... I wonder who is making money on that deal.

[ObamAtomic]

For what we care,they made a mistake setting you free......­..

[spiritpony1]

I want to know if we still have Chalaibi (cheney's buddy) on payroll---

[ObamAtomic]

Maybe no,he's a millionaire,

[wwoody]

I don't under why everyone is picking on him, he honest, trustworthy, he our guy Friday. No I didn't throw-up,.­.... I just can't seem to keep anything on my stomach lately.

[BillZBubb]

If there was any justice, Chalabi would be sharing a holding cell in the Hague with his buddy W.

[ranch111]

That's what happens when you disobey your masters.

[mmonarch]

I believe every word this guy says. Right.

The 2000 "election" was a fraud due to Florida as was everthing that followed.

The 2000 "election" due to was a fraud and everthing that followed it.

WAHHHH!

Shove it, punk.

George Bush loves you, babe.

[blingbling65943]

This monumental dirt-bag should still be in prison,

its hard to know the real story, who was playing who, but this man played a large role in how we got into Iraq. And of course it turned out it was all lies.

[Oonagh]

He was the voice that cheney needed to tell the big lie to start the war.

[bronceye]

At least he wasn't tortured, only scared.

[iMissMollyIvins]

What a shame, if anyone deserved to be tortured..­.

[1dogs2]

What a farce! It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. American intelligence managed to get it wrong with respect to the same people TWICE -- and only tortured them when they told the truth. When they were lying their @$$e$, we took what they said at face value and invaded Iraq based in large part on their lies.

[amdezurik]

and "lost" 8 billion in cash when they just happened to be in the area...

[ObamAtomic]

He's holding the money for his masters here.

[iMissMollyIvins]

We paid them to lie to us. Well okay, Bush/Cheney used our tax dollars to pay Chalabi the lobbyists that smoothed the path to war in Iraq with members of Congress.
