Not about the oil after all?

[redbird]

I didn't blog this for a couple of days, because I assumed everyone would see it: but apparently the "paper of record" doesn't think it's fit to print:

Iran has denied recent reports that it was using the neo-cons' darling Ahmed Chalabi to pass disinformation--lies, in ordinary English--to the Bush administration. Specifically, to the people who don't see any reason to bother verifying such things, if the information supports what they wanted to do anyway.

Maybe the war wasn't about the oil. Maybe the U.S. invaded Iraq because Iran wasn't happy about a hostile, secular government next door.

Before the Iranian spy story came out, I had already decided that anyone who trusted Ahmad Chalabi was either a moron or someone desperate for a proper source for what they want to do do anyway.
