Longtime readers know I'm only somewhat tongue-in-cheek partial to the Grand Iranian Conspiracy of why we invaded Iraq. Essentially Iranian intelligence set up Chalabi and the INC to con gullible American lawmakers and Fred Hiatt's crayon scribblers into destroying and then handing over their troublesome neighbor. And now apparently, years later, we have to stay in Iraq to prevent Chalabi and Iran from taking over.
heckuva job.
