He's Baaaaack!
Well, well, well . . .
The neocons' favorite double agent and embezzler, Ahmad Chalabi, has just been appointed acting oil minister for Iraq due to the mysterious failure of the new Iraqi government to name an oil minister.
"Chalabi, speaking to Reuters by telephone shortly after his appointment, said he might only be in the job for 'a short time' but he pledged to work to ensure smooth exports and honor contracts struck by the previous government."
Remember, though, that this war was about bringing democracy to the Middle East and ending the threat of Saddam's vast arsenal of WMD. It had nothing whatsoever to do with oil, and anyone who thinks that Chalabi's posting to the Oil Ministry is in the least bit suspicious is obviously a member of the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists.
On the other hand, maybe Justin Raimondo was onto something in this column.
