Origins Of The War

We always knew that Ahmad Chalabi and the Neo-cons were pushing the President Bush into an ill-conceived war. Now it appears he had help. In an interview with Dar al-Hayat: http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2009/04/chalabi-admits-that-bush-was-duped-by-iran.html or http://english.daralhayat.com/Spec/04-2009/Article-20090401-61f52f1a-c0a8-10ed-01db-52c89eb058c6/story.html Ghassan Charbel Al-Hayat - 01/04/09// ... "[Al-Hayat]: If you want to describe George Bush, then how would you describe him? [Chalabi]: A man with very little skill and knowledge. [Al-Hayat]: He did Iran a great service by toppling Saddam? [Chalabi]: Iran benefited from toppling Saddam. Bush didn't mean to do it a favor but it was clear that Iran would benefit from Saddam's fall. I am convinced that Saddam would not have fallen except for an implicit agreement between America and Iran. [Al-Hayat]: This happened? [Chalabi]: Yes, of course it did. [Al-Hayat]: Through whom? [Chalabi]: We worked on this and so did the Supreme Council and Jalal Talbani." ... Suckered into a 3 trillion dollar war.
