Ahamed Chalabi, Who Drove U.S. To War In Iraq, Dead

Posted by | November 3, 2015 07:01 | Filed under: Politics War & Peace


Iraq politician, the former interim oil minister who pushed the U.S. to overthrow Saddam Hussein is dead at 71.

A scion of a wealthy Iraqi Shiite family, Chalabi was a key player in the George W. Bush administration’s controversial bid to build a case for the ouster of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein.

Details of the 71-year-old Iraqi politician’s death were sketchy. Iraqi state TV announced Tuesday that Chalabi died of a heart attack in Baghdad.

According to Iraqi parliamentarian Haitham al-Jabouri, who is also secretary of parliament’s financial panel which Chalabi had chaired, attendants found the secular Shiite politician dead in bed in his Baghdad home.

A divisive figure often blamed for providing false intelligence on Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction to justify the US invasion, Chalabi was a close ally of Washington neoconservatives such as Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz and Doug Feith in the lead-up to the 2003.

      Evil men like Chalabi are one reason I believe in hell. Lots of liberal Christians have given up the doctrine of hell but I hate to give up cosmic justice for people who cause unspeakable suffering.

    Too bad he didn’t die before we went to war with Iraq for nothing but the oil, which Limbaugh said “we didn’t even get that right”!

    The Dick Cheney of Iraq.

    Too bad he didn’t take his partners in crime with him, like Cheney.
    Good riddance to bad garbage.
