this old mud thread Iraqi Puppet leader embezzled millions

is worth reading in retrospect. excerpts from an article on that thread report that Chalabi

1. was scorned by most of America's national security establishment,
2 is ostracised in the Arab world
3 has no support or poweer base in Iraq

4 is wanted in Jordan for stealing hundreds of millions of depositors' dollars from a bank he managed which collapsed

AND

5 that Chalabi, "more than any other person", had been the key supplier of faulty intelligence to the CIA about Iraq's purported "stockpiles" of biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction.
