Bush Neocons' Good Buddy Chalabi Lacks Votes
Unexpectedly low support from overseas voters has left Ahmed Chalabi -- the returned Iraqi exile once backed by the United States to lead Iraq -- facing a shutout from power in this month's vote for the country's first full-term parliament since the 2003 invasion.
With 95 percent of a preliminary tally from the Dec. 15 vote now completed, Chalabi remained almost 8,000 votes short of the 40,000 minimum needed for him or his bloc to win a single seat in the 275-seat National Assembly, according to election officials. Without a seat in the assembly, Chalabi would presumably be unable to obtain a post in the resulting government.
Ahmed Chalabi, the man who played Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice and the rest of the sheep like a violin, could not get elected as a dog-catcher in Baghdad.
Ahmed
'The Manipulator' Chalabi, the man Bush and the neocons said would waltz in - during the same parade the Iraqis would give to our soldiers arriving in Baghdad... And the war would cost very little and, as the great war hero, Dick Cheney
declared, Ahmed had everything in order and the conquering of Iraq "will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months".
The man Bush thought would rule Iraq after we invaded and the man can't get the minimum votes need for 1 of 275 seats in the Assembly.
Is there anything any of you can think of that Bush has gotten right about Iraq? Do you think we should start the
impeachment hearings now or wait until after the 2006 election?
