And this administration is flea-ridden.

I knew of Chalabi's crimes before they put him in. So I didn't think much of Bush to do that....."It figures" I thought. And my first post was a tad sarcastic, because this administration makes poor decisions, then tries to cover them up.

First they used some of Chalabi's intelligence (a convicted and exiled criminal) to plan for this war as a convenient excuse to get at their oil and remove Saddam. I'll bet they USED some of his intelligence and made a deal to pay him off with a piece of the pie. ("Hey, we'll put you in charge of Iraq!")

So you have all the flea-ridden dogs hanging out together (smart and sneaky criminals), and one ups the other. Then the other one ups the other. All deals. All for money. All for more of the pie. The CIA has too many dogs. Mind you, they're not going to stop because they don't have a conscience.
Probably religion might do it though.
