'Iraqis are paying the price for US mistakes'

Baghdad - A leading Iraqi politician said on Friday United States authorities were wrong to raid Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi's headquarters and accused them of trying to hijack Iraq's political future.

Iraqis were paying the price of a year of mistakes by US officials after the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Governing Council member Mahmoud Othman said in an interview.

He said US officials should have at least consulted with the US-appointed Council before American troops and Iraqi police stormed a home and offices of Chalabi, the former darling of the Pentagon.

"We definitely don't approve of the way it was done. We think it is a violation of at least the Governing Council's authority," he said.

1. Even if Chalabi is scum...

...this was yet another boner by the thumbs-up set. BushCo has proven itself incapable of doing a single thing right in Iraq.

Cold comfort, then, that Dems in Congress are going to give it billions to make more tragic mistakes.

3. Sorry Voltaire99, but I must correct your statement.

"BushCo has proven itself incapable of doing a single thing right in Iraq."

This should read:

BushCo has proven itself incapable of doing a single thing right.

2. So NOW they have a problem with the fascist tactics

Chalabi's goons have pointed the stormtroopers to so many others for months now, but now that it happened to them..
