On Sunday, McClatchy reported that disgraced Iraqi politician Ahmed Chalabi had “re-emerged as a central figure” in the U.S. strategy for Iraq. His latest job: to press Iraq’s government to “deliver better electricity, health, education and local security services to Baghdad,” as “the next phase” of the escalation.

Today, Blackanthem.com reports that Petraeus has been trumpeting his new alliance with Chalabi, introducing him to U.S. troops serving in Iraq:

Gen. David Petraeus, commanding general, Multi-National Force-Iraq, Dr. Ahmad Chalabi, director of services in Iraq, and Dr. Safi Al-Sheik, director of the Iraqi National Reconciliation Committee, met with Soldiers and leaders of the 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga., who are operating in the Arab Jabour area.

For Petraeus to proudly introduce troops to Chalabi is particularly unfitting, considering that Chalabi has repeatedly put the lives of U.S. troops in danger in Iraq.

2. Good God Almighty.

This criminal scum is the toast of the town again.

The Bush oil mafia doesn't even put up a pretense anymore.

They are a criminal syndicate.

They know the American people are too apathetic or too stupid to do anything about it.

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS???

4. This is a joke, right?

Please tell me it's a joke.

My mind cannot deal with idiocy like this, if true.

5. Take a few deep breaths. It is true.

Ahmed Chalabi is being re-groomed for PM of Iraq. Enough time has gone by for the memories to have faded regarding his duplicity with Iran.
