I was just catching up on reading Digby and ran across this piece of total fuckery:
Over the past two days the American ambassador, Robert S. Beecroft, along with Brett McGurk, the senior State Department official on Iraq and Iran, have met with Usama Nujaifi, the leader of the largest Sunni contingent, United For Reform, and with Ahmad Chalabi, one of the several potential Shiite candidates for prime minister, according to people close to each of those factions, as well as other political figures. Convicted embezzler and con-man Ahmad Chalabi? The guy who spoon-fed Dick Cheney bogus intelligence supplied by Iran in the run-up to the Iraq war? That guy? We're talking to HIM about taking over as PM?Fuck. Just shoot me now.
