Wondering what Ahmad Chalabi (curveball) was doing in Washington last week meeting with top Whitehouse officials? He was auditioning for president of Iraq. Ahmad Chalabi is a man who understand how the system really works and he knows that you don't get elected in Iraq by the people. He knows that the US will install a puppet government there and he wants to be that puppet. So he's doing what you really need to do to get "elected" in Iraq. He's pitiching a deal to the oil company representatives who control America. Condi Rice, Rumsfield, Cheney etc.
This is the same guy who help generate the lies that led us to war in the first place.
