For Iraqi, the Ends Justifies the Means

From the Washington Times:

"We are heroes in error," he said in Baghdad on Wednesday. "As far as we're concerned, we've been entirely successful.

"Our objective has been achieved. That tyrant Saddam is gone, and the Americans are in Baghdad. What was said before is not important."

Mr. Chalabi added: "The Bush administration is looking for a scapegoat. We're ready to fall on our swords if [President Bush] wants."

His comments are likely to inflame the debate on both sides of the Atlantic over the quality of prewar intelligence, and over the way it was presented by Mr. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair as they argued for military action.


Matt's Chat

Democrats don't want to blame the source of the information. They want the President's blood. And nothing ANYBODY says will change that. So, while I appreciate Mr. Chalabi's honesty, it changes nothing. Sad really...but such is the state of the Democratic party and the Hate Bush ilk.

Mark's Remarks


No, it does not matter to liberals that hundreds of thousands no longer have to live in fear. It does not matter that we have gone further, faster, with the fewest casualties. Nope, they smell blood, and they want to win the White House at all costs, screw the Iraqi people and the good that our men and women and uniform have accomplished! We have to win the White House! We have to appease people rather than stand up for the universal principles of human rights and democracy! Political victory is more important than changing the world! That is what the liberals of today think...and their actions show it.
