I see Mr. Chalabi, the great white hope of the neo-cons has been ousted as a channel to the Iranians. One has to laugh: the Iranians have been rolling the Americans since the 1970s (Iran-contra anyone), getting them to do their dirty work. All these "hardnosed" "realists" suckered over and over again -- Ollie, meet Dick Perle. Chortle.

Fair enough, Dave. Peter, I think youmeant "outed" although he was also probably ousted.

The well-developed bazaar mentality is a formidable opponent, no mistake.

The basic con artist system is to offer people a chance to steal without risk. Then they con themselves.

I wonder how French papers translate the term "NeoCons"? Maybe they just print it that way, and let readers make what they want of it...

For some reason this whole thing is making me think of this song (and this is still in the music section of the Cat):

Oh! Mister Porter, what shall I do?
I want to go to Birmingham
And they're taking me on to Crewe,
Send me back to London as quickly as you can,
Oh! Mister Porter, what a silly girl I am!
("Oh! Mr Porter")

Why hasn't this been moved to BS?

We are awaiting to Joe Clones, creatures of Joe Offer, whose international communications links to Al-Quaeda are well known to the CIA. This thread's movement to BS would signal a category shift of possibly threatening proportions to national security.
