#1 INC doesnt want old Iraqi spies recruited, says theyre all old baathists. CIA undoubtedly thinks they know who's who, since they penetrated Iraqi intel, with help from Alawi and his pals. So theyre spreading that INC is complaining cause they dont want a powerbase that could be used (by CIA pal Alawi) against (Pentagon pal) Chalabi. Of course do we want an intel service as a powerbase in a democracy? CIA:demowhat? We do coups, cloak and dagger, etc not demobuilding. In the 90's CIA and their pals in the INA tried to use cloak and dagger to pull off a coup in Iraq, which failed. Chalabi said they should have pushed an uprising, not a coup. (of course that would have been offensive to our Saudi "friends" who much preferred a military regime takeover from Saddam, not a democracy) So CIA blamed Chalabi for coup failure. Well Pentagon can hardly object to this now, when they so badly need intell. But if CIA had Iraqi intell so well penetrated, why did the WMD info get so F**Ked up? CIA would like to blamce Chalabi and his people - but they deny turning over the stuff that got used. Massive blame game involveding Langley, Pentagon, and their respective Iraqi clients. With of course the possible wild card of WMDS that may yet be found, or have already been found but not revealed.

One more chapter in the REAL war - the Pentagon neo-cons against CIA and their Foggy Bottom allies.
