Bush White House paid Chalabi $340,000 per month for bad intel.

George W. Bush has rolled out the red carpet for Ahmed Chalabi. Most of you may be wondering just who in the hell is Chalabi or what's the big deal about his visit. Let's just say he is directly implicated to why the United States is stuck in the quicksand of Iraq. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1152AP_US_Chalabi.html

Bush used Chalabi as one of his main sources for "intelligence" in going to war in Iraq. Chalabi's "people" were the ones insisting that weapons of mass destruction were in Iraq. It was more like weapons of mass deception at the White House. We, the taxpayer paid for this chatter to the tune of $340,000 per month to Chalabi and his group. Chalabi was already cited for milking $60 million from an African Bank. I wonder if Chalabi was adding insult to injury when he helped cook up the notion that Iraq was trying to buy "yellow cake" from Niger?

Regardless, we have paid for Chalabi's research with over 2000 dead American soldiers, over 100,000 Iraqis and billions of taxpayer dollars that could be at work here at home. Well after all this deceit by Chalabi, Bush has invited Chalabi back to the scene of the crime - the White House. This welcome is as outrageous as giving former CIA Director George Tenet and the new-Iraq architect Paul Bremer the Congressional Medal of Honor. Republicans please wake up. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.
