So for those not paying attention, not only has Ahmed Chalabi (this is him, behind the First Lady, in a position of honor at the State of the Union) turned out to be a liar and a fraud, but he's been passing sensitive intelligence information to Iran. Remember Iran? We don't like them much. I don't know about you, but I spent much of 1982 with "Bomb Iran" stuck in my head:
to the tune of "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys:Bomb Iran (bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran)
Bomb I-ra-a-an (bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran)
Comin' to the block
Gonna throw some rocks
Tell the Ayatollah gonna put you in a box
Bomb Iran (etc.)
But more important than Chalabi turning out to be a terrible scumbag, are these questions raised at Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo...
