An excellent conversation, Charlie.
C Thalacker 05/16/2007 05:09 PM Report
L. Paul Bremer blithely pronounces that the Ahmed Chalabi was a successful businessman.
Charlie lets that canard slip by?!
And Enron was a successful company.
And Donald Rumsfeld was a successful U.S. Secretary of Defense.
Bremer's assertion that Chalabi (among all the anti-Saddam Iraqi exiles) was listened to/selected as our top man in Iraq because he was a successful businessman gives rise the question:
Why was Ahmed Chalabi, a "successful businessman" (who operatied Petra Bank in Jordan) not meeting minimum reserve requirements?
Why was Ahmed Chalabi, a "successful businessman" indicted by the Government of Jordan for banking fraud?
Why is Ahmed Chalabi, a "successful businessman" on the run from Jordanian authorities?
If post-Saddam Iraq was/is one of the most important long-term reconstruction projects since post-WWII Japan and Germany, why was L. Paul Bremer (another Bush-Brownie complete with his own Katrina on the Tigris) selected to project an image of incompetent mismanagement ... both during and after?
