Free Iraqi Forces!: Woolsey with egg on his Face
While on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer, former CIA director and Neo Con thinker James Woolsey, who calls the war on terrorism World War 4, the Third World War being the Cold War, blamed the CIA and The Statement Department for the lack of troops in Iraq. Come again you say? Was it not Rummy and crew that insisted on a small force. Woolsey said that the CIA and the State Department refused to back a plan that would have provided the Department of Defence Plan with the millions needed to form an army of thousands of Iraqi ex pats, akin to De Gaulle’s Free French, led by Ahmed Chalabi. Wipe the egg from your face Mr. Woolsey. While the recent arrest of Chalabi proves that the Free French comparison was never a good one, it was however apt in one respect. Like De Gaulle, Chalabi has turned out to be a royal pain in the ass.
