Ex-U.S. ally Chalabi, now closer to Iran, on the rise in Iraq
"This was a decision handed down by the Justice and Accountability committee, headed by Ahmad Chalabi , and we mustn't forget that this decision was widely supported by the two main Shiite coalitions and by the Kurds," Mohandas said.A delegation from the European Union spent an hour this week quizzing Chalabi at his compound about the efforts to sideline political opponents under the guise of de-Baathification. Once the tough talk was over, however, the Europeans couldn't resist asking for a souvenir photo with Iraq's best-known political phoenix. As the camera flashed, one of the delegates joked, "I hope we're not on the de-Baathification list now." "No, only General Petraeus," Chalabi replied. Posted by: ed 2010-02-27 |
