Ahmad Chalabi -- Banking Genius, WMD Genius, Electoral Genius
Why, oh, why must the leftie blogs be so harsh toward Ahmad Chalabi? Josh Marshall, Daily Kos, Atrios, and more, all mock him mercilessly, just because the U.S. held him out as Iraq's savior and yet, so far, he doesn't even get a seat in the new Parliament. But do they point out he was convicted in absentia for bank fraud in Jordan? Of course not! Nor do they note he revealed top secrets to Iran! That's right, he's a spy for Iraq's sometime enemy, Iran, and he defrauded citizens of Iraq's other neighbor, Jordan, and he STILL got 0.89%! Why is this not lauded as a stupendous achievement?
