Article: Al Queda Lured Us into Iraq

As for Chalabi, and any other liars our neoconservative friends were taken in by, I have to believe they let themelves be taken in so easily because they wanted to be taken in. They were looking for an excuse to go into Iraq and jumped anything without thoroughly vetting the source.

As much as some want to pile on "intelligence failures," the CIA was sceptical of Chalabi and his claims but their cautions were ignored by the necon axis around Cheny and Rumsfeld.

That's possible. Even probable. I said he provided a "caus ballis", ie reason for war, but the decision to invade was predetermined (check the 9/11 report). German intelligence for example warned the us "curveball" was a shakey source. Despite this the us used that intelligence as a center piece when it presented before the UN. The reason being they didn't care if it was true, their concern was to get the worlds acquiessance to invade.

But it IS important to know the source of who brought us to Iraq. Iran saw the US as a round about means to knock off the Sunni domination of Iraq and free up the majority Shia population Iran had already organized so that Iran could dominate Iraq. That's what we're facing there. Not Al Qaeda.
