#1 I call BS on this article.

First of all, Chalabi's committee can't make anybody do anything. Second I've been waiting for Chalabi's rivals to cut him off at the knees as soon as he has too much success. Third providing services to Sadr City could make the GOI look good in the run up to the elections.

I suspect that this has to do with Iraqi elections, with some cabinet ministers trying to make sure Chalabi doesn't replace them.
