It was just a joke two weeks ago, but now no one is laughing: Chalabi, the man with "nine lives," really is "back" as a Iraq force, Damien Cave writes.
At first championed by the Bush administration’s neoconservatives potential
leader of Iraq, Ahmad Chalabi ended up persona non grata, effectively
barred from the wartime American Embassy here. Now, in an improbable
twist of fate, Mr. Chalabi is being talked about as a serious candidate
for prime minister. He has also been back to the embassy.
With
Sunni insurgents rampaging across the country and sectarian killings on
the rise, everything old seems new again in Iraq — including,
apparently, Mr. Chalabi.
