Chalabi holding Iraq oil portfolio

``Former'' Pentagon favorite for now in charge of the key resource


Ahmed Chalabi was an honored White House guest on January 20, 2004

Chalabi was a key Pentagon agent who helped the US Lie Factory produce its tainted case for war. Later, in May 2004, he became the subject of an orchestrated raid and accusations that he may also have been an agent for Iran.

The news today is that Chalabi for perhaps only a short while will mind Iraq's oil. Hmmmm...he must still be a trusted figure deep within the Pentagon and Cheney's office.
