Man whose false claims about Saddam’s WMD's helped spur the U.S.-led invasion dead from heart attack

[TNHarley]

Ahmed Chalabi, Iraqi exile who helped spur U.S. invasion, dies of heart attack

Mr. Chalabi’s political fortunes were closely linked to the war — and the years of bloodshed and unrest that followed — that many claim he helped spark as a trusted and well-paid adviser to American political and military decision makers.

He became synonymous with the spotty — and sometimes wrong — intelligence used to bolster assertions by President George W. Bush and others that the Iraqi leader possessed weapons of mass destruction.

But he was later dogged by allegations of corruption and lacked popular support. He also was accused of developing secret channels with Shiite power Iran, which swiftly exerted its influence in Iraq after the fall of Hussein’s Sunni-led power structure.

“Iraq is a mess.

Mr. Chalabi was among the key Iraqi Shiites promoting the so-called de-Baathification process, a policy that attempted to remove figures from Hussein’s Sunni-led Baath Party from Iraq’s new political system. Critics said it helped to drive division in the country, which spiralled into sectarian war.

He played Bush like an old piano.

Actually they did find WMD's just as Bush said. Do a search and you will find it.

Dear dumbfuck,
Iraq and WMDs started being talked about since the Gulf War. History didn't start in 2000.

Before Raygun took Iraq off the list of Nations who support terrorism, Iraq had some old chemical weapons like muster gas and chlorine gas. But Ronnie open Pandora's Box. Not only did the US and our allies allow him to purchase the necessary technology and supplies to make state of the art Chemical and Biological weapons, but he was also able to procure enough material to start a underground Manhattan Project style nuclear program.

His use of these weapons were never condemned by the Raygun administration.

All of it was destroyed during or after the first war. No new production. No large stockpiles.

Goodbye Curveball The GOP is going to miss you.

Yep. Reagan was fuckin terrible.
And I did find it ironic the only WMDs we found were OURS.. Makes you think..

Never found anything but old dilapidated weapons. Nothing new.

So did Clinton.
Besides, what were we supposed ot think? The damn asshole wouldn't even cooperate with weapon inspectors. So in return, Clinton bombed the shit out of him..

Oh, so we're not going to talk about WMD's now, we're going on to something else?

If you don't want to talk about what his predecessors actually did, why did you bring them up?

Saddam was pissed because he felt the GWHB stabbed him in the back over Kuwait. I've also heard that the only reason he fucked with some inspection teams is because they had American spies in them who were scouting for military targets.

 

[the_human_being]

What about the thousands of Kurds that Saddam killed with poison gas and other chemical weapons? Were their opinions on whether he had Weapons of Mass Destruction, "false" too?

Those were the weapons Saddam had trucked into Syria before the invasion.

Hillary insisting al Qaeda was working with Sadamn was a very nice touch. And Bill saying Iraq had WMDs when he left office was great fodder.

Nope. No means of delivery. Dangerous chemicals yes, WMD, nope.

A weapon of mass destruction (WMD or WoMD) is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere.
