October 31, 2007- Back Again

   As the situation on trhe ground in Iraq descends into chaos, so to does the government. Never anything more than a parade of American puppets and stooges, that government has never amounted to shit and never served  anyone except themselves. These fuckers have not even been able to obey Washington correctly, that is how fucking incompetent they are. They have been an endless parade of toadies stading with their hands out, wanting to grab as much of the insane loot that is flying around the war zone as they possibly can, raking it in, and then being kicked out in favor of the next jackass standing in line with his hand out too. There has been no one that has been the personification of this any more than a dude named Ahmed Chalabi. This guy has been there with both hands out ever since America went into Iraq And has made out way better than the other puppets. The reason for that is that he is the favorite puppet of Washington and the Bush Administration, they think this guy is the fucking greatest. They wanted him to take over from Saddam and be their puppet ruler, and he was more than willing to do it, but that fell through because America had not counted on Iraq descending into chaos when Saddam was overthrown. So Chalabi had to find something else to do in the new Iraqi government, and his pals in Washington wasted little time getting him a position. Since there was not much in th eway of politicians yet, he had to get into another part of things, and he got into the part where the most money was at stake, the Iraqi oil ministry. He was put in charge of that as his plum reward for being Washington's boy, and the dude wasted little time plundering everything to the max. He stole shit right out in the open and did not even try and hide it, and he was as unrepentant about it as can be. He was in this thing for himself and the stooges that he had underneath him and made himself right at home with it too. He let the word be known that he was open for business and that anything went in the business world as well, so come on down and give it a try. The guy had a golden goose right at his nasty fingertips, being in charge of oil, and the money that could be stolen and such off of that should very well be enough to last him quite a long time. Even the politicians could not steal as much money in their scenes, as they were not directly in charge of as much money as Chalabi was. It looked like the dude had it made, but it was not enough for him, not even that much money, the fucker had to have more. So he went over Iran way and told the Iranian government that he was available as a spy if the price was right, and he knew fucking well that he'd get his money, as Tehran could not pass up the opportunity to have someone so well connected that high up in the Iraqi regime reporting right to them, so they oput Chalabi on their payroll. So there he was, stealing the oil revenues off of the Iraqi people as the head of the Oil Ministry, as well as getting a lot of money from Iran for his work spying on whatever the Americans were doing, being such a favorite, he had access to everything, and he was running straight to Tehran with it and taking hoome a lot of money as a result. That is, until Washington found out about him working for Iran and confronted him with it, and he did not deny shit, so Washington knew they had a spy on thei rtpayroll, and had no other choice except to relieve Chalabi of his duties as Oil Minister and send him packing. The golden boy was now an outcast, shunned by his former admirers, and seemingly relegated  to nothingness again just like he was before the war started and  Washington called on him.

   You would think that Washington had learned their lessons with this asshole and had sent him packing once and for all. It was not even the stealing the oil revenue that pissed  them off, they expected that, it was part of the deal, it was working for Iran that got Washington very upset. They were trying to start a government in Iraq that would give them a counter to Iran, so the last thing they wanted was for Tehran to be aware of each and every step that was going to take, yet here was Chalabi going to meeting with Washington and then running right out and telling everything to Iran. All this shit that you hear Washington talking about as far as the Iranians being in Iraq is attributable to what Chalabi did. He made it awful easy for them to get in there by spilling the beans on every plan and once they are in, they are much harder to get rid of, as America has found. The entire network of Iranian government agents in Iraq  was set up by Chalabi, that shows how much of a great ally he was to those Washington boys that loved him so. However, that is not at all out of character with Chalabi, he has a long track record of doing shit like that. The dude is a professional fraudster and criminla, nothing else. The reason that he  was an exile from Iraq to begin with was not because he opposed Saddam politically, that  dude cares zero about any politics, it was because he had ripped people in Iraq off like crazy for a long time with bogus banks and fraudulent financial shit, making untold millions for himself as others went bust. He skipped out of iraq when things got hot, ended up being tried in absentia and convicted and would have gone to prison for a long time, if not be executed, if he ever went back to Iraq again, so that was why he was gone. He did not stop his ways once he skipped Iraq either, he came to America and started  up the same financial misdeeds and the same shit happened again, the Pigs caught on to him and he was going to be busted so he skipped out and was once again tried in absentia and convicted, so there was a prison sentence awaiting him in America if he ever showed up there again too. He even repeated this whole cycle again in a couple of countrie sin Europe, so the man had a very long pedigree as a financial criminal and had prison time awaitning him all over the globe. yet, these neocon fanatics in Washington liked the dude and said that he was the man to do business with in Iraq, even though he was wanted in America. They just quietly dropped that little legal matter and did the same in Iraq when they took over, and Chalabi was back in business again. How anyone thought that he was not going to go right back to the only way that he knows and start ripping his partners off again was insane, but they did, and he got yet another chance, and once again stayed true to form and fucked everyone else over except himself. The last thing a country in the state that Iraq is in now needs is a fucker like Chalabi doing anything in it, not even selling bread and rolls, nothing. A guy like him is going to ensure that Iraq stays in chaos and disrepair forever as he goes merrily about grabbing anything and everythig that he possibly can. Surely Washington can find other willing puppets to do what he was doing, puppets that would stick to the graft and payoffs that they'd be entitled to from Washington and not go offering their spy services to Iran or anyone else.

   However, as incredible as it sounds, Washington has ignored all of that and brough none other than Ahmed Chalabi back once again to have yet another pivotal role in the Iraqi government. This time, they have given him a plum job in the reconstruction sector, the second most profitable sector behind oil. What they want him to do is essentially oversee the reconstruction of Iraq and help rebuild it, which is as incredible as it gets. Once again, Washington hands the fucker the keys to another job that has immense amounts of moiney floating around it and tells him to go ahead and have fun. If they think that the dude has learned his lesson and is going to do the job right this time, they are sadly mistaken. There is so much money floating around Iraq in the name of reconstruction of the country that Chalabi can have yet another field day, or a whole series of them. Any reconstruction job inb Iraq  can be used to get money, a cut of the action, and there are infinite jobs like that lining up in Iraq as we speak. The war is not even over yet, so the destruction caused by it is not over yet either, so that reconstruction job is one that can go on forever. Chalabi would like that just fine too, if you give him the money to rebuild, he'll make sure that he rebuilds in places where the war is still raging so everything that he builds gets destroyed right after he builds it so that he has to build it again and again and again.  That plus the kickbacks that he would receive from each and every construction project in the country is a very plum thing, putting the wolf right back in charge of not only the henhouse, but the entire farm. The fact that he fucked them all over just a few short years ago is forgotten here, as the neocons welcome their golden boy back into the fold again and hand him another set of golden keys. They are so obsessed with this asshole that they are willing to even overlook that, and that essentially means that they'll overlook anything that the guy does. They do so because even though they know that he fucked them before, they think he is cool precisely because he does shit like that to his friends. he shows that he has no conscience or morals whatsoever, that all he cares about is that money there to be had and how much of it he can get for himself, and they love that shit no end. They love it so because that is exactly how they are, how they think, how they act, and Chalabi is a big time pro at that, so these guys are in awe of him. He is a superstar in the world of greed and corruption, a regular Wayne Gretzky, a man that sets records by the score. They want that man on their team because they know he'll do them good, so they are willing to do whatever it takes to get that, and Chalabi knows that and uses it to his advantage. So he goes right out and fucks them over and does not even try to hide it because he knows that they'll never kick him out for very long, that sooner or later he'll be back, and now that the Bush Administration is in its last months, now is the time. The neocons need their superstar to get them some last blasts of serious money, they want to not only fil their hands, but a vast pit as well, and the superstar wil be able to get them that before they have to leave in January 2009. So that is why they forget that he is not a team player at all, to him every letter in team is "I", but he can do what they want, so they forgive and forget and welcome him back into the fold yet again. Everything is cool now between the two parties and it is just like old times in Iraq again, and Washington is forgetting something very important from those old times that they are so desperate to relive.

   If Chalabi was willing to sell himself out as a spy to Iran before, what makes them think that he won't do that now? If the money that he could steal from the oil revenues was not enopugh to stop him from doing that, the money in reconstruction won't be either. Tehran needs a spy in Iraq now worse than ever before, with the Bush Administration making all sorts of claims and war noises at them. Nobody got busted from what Chalabi was doing before, not him,and not anyone in Iran, so the relationship between the two is still very good.  Chalabi did not get back into the government by squealing on Tehran, naming names, telling who he was working for, none of that. He has not said shit about anyone in Iran, so any and all connections he had are still as secret as ever. With the way things are now in Iraq, the price that he could command for his spy services would be considerably higher than before, and he can still get it too, as Tehran knows that he not some American undercover agent. It will surely be just days before Chalabi gets on the phone and starts making calls to Tehran and starts offering his services again. Iran will again meet any price that he has, as they know what good things he can do for them, it is all worth it. Iran needs to get a new contingents of its people into Iraq, the original one needs reinforcements. Chalabi was the man that got the first ones in, and he will be the man that gets the reinforcements in too. Once again, he will not care one bit about fucking Washington over, showing them the type of "superstar" he really is. Just like before, he will make Iraq a more dangerous place in the name of enriching himself, and the people that wil pay for that are the Iraqi people and the American soldiers. Fighting will ratchet up again as Chalabi brings more Iranians in, and since he sees that he is invincible, why  should Chalabi stop at selling his services to Iran alone? Syria would like some of that, as would Saudi Arabia, North Korea, the list goes on and on. Every single one of these entities has cash to spend on spies, especially spies that can dish on America. Chalabi is in the position where he could sell his services to every single one of those entities and then some, knowing that his adoring neocons will not kick him out again this late in the game, so he is the ultimate free agent, he can play for all the teams at once. Taking him back again is going to cost America a lot in the end because he is going to make the situation in Iraq worse on many fronts and make America pay for that. He essentially has a free pass good until January 20, 2009, after that, who knows, but in that time Chalabi can do an awful lot of damage, the type of damage that will last long beyond that date in 2009, and rest assured that he intends to do as much as possible. He is pissed off at Washington fo rmakiong him sit out part of the partry these last few years, and knows how to get themn back ,and such a petty, venal man as Chalabi will not pass up any opportunity to do that. He  wants to fuck America over again one last time, because he does not know if any new Administration will play ball with him and he may have to take his endless con game elsewhere so he wants to make sure that the neocons know that he is pissed off at them. So he will sell his services to at least Iran if not hordes of others, to make more money for himnself, since he obviously can never have enough, and to punish Washington for kicking him out of the   game for a while. Those are the reasons that he came back, and the best we can hope for is when he is kicked out again, that it is permanent this time.
