so, after all that, it turns out that an Iraqi political party that won about 50% of the vote, WANTED Chalabi in a ministerial position. This would seem to DISPROVE the line that he was a just someone good at manipulating DC, with no appeal in Iraq. Yet instead this is shown as somehow evidence of - er, - well im not sure what, since none of the above posts is real coherent. |
You realize that power through a network of patronage (which is what his role in the IGC and connections with Defense got him) is quite different from power through a popular base (which is an interesting idea, given that his reinvented politics was based on support from Sadr et al.), don't you? And the Petroleum Ministry gets Chalabi even more patronage power.
