THE VILLAGERS STILL LIKE THEMS SOME CHALABI

(h/t Gawker)

Ahmad Chalabi, the single person most responsible for supporting the neo-cons war with Iraq, was invited to a nice & fancy "Washington Ideas Forum" but he wasn't guillotined.  The Forum was sponsored by The Atlantic and the Aspen Institute.

Chalabi re-iterated his support for the Iraq War and did not apologize for helping to lie us into it:
"Getting rid of Saddam was certainly justified," he told Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn in their conversation at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. He said of his famously influential support for the war, "We were concerned about Saddam's oppression." He added when Quinn asked about the alleged weapons of mass destruction that never materialized, "The weapons of mass destruction was to our view a marginal issue."
