Chalabi's back

The beast who will not die.

Some people have unbelievable political lives or, at least, one hell of a lot of them.

Melik Kaylan writes a fawning piece on Ahmad Chalabi for the Wall Street Journal's op-ed page, calling him the "nearest thing Iraqis currently possess to a genuine walk-and-talk democratic politician." For many Americans, that may be hard to stomach, as the guy has been roundly criticized for peddling false WMD information to eager listeners at the Pentagon

Now as I see it, that second sentence puts Chalabi as Republican politician and not a democratic one.

Yes, I did type what I wanted to using lowercase "d" for democratic.
