Ahmed Chalabi, once a darling of rightwing power brokers in Washington, D.C. for his support of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, is not a man to be taken at his word.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he never says things of acute interest.
In a recent interview with Lebanese news outlet Dar Al-Hayat, Chalabi accuses former President George W. Bush of conspiring with Iran before the fall of Saddam.Here's the scoop, via Foreign Policy:
[Al-Hayat]: If you want to describe George Bush, then how would you describe him?
[Chalabi]: A man with very little skill and knowledge.
[Al-Hayat]: He did Iran a great service by toppling Saddam?
[Chalabi]: Iran benefited from toppling Saddam. Bush didn't mean to do it a favor but it was clear that Iran would benefit from Saddam's fall. I am convinced that Saddam would not have fallen except for an implicit agreement between America and Iran.
[Al-Hayat]: This happened?
[Chalabi]: Yes, of course it did."

yep, there is proof when they called him a man of little skill and knowledge, they obviosly delt with him
Of course toppling Hussein was a major favor for Iran, not to the US because No WMDs and no connection to OBL.
Fact the taxpayers paid Chalabi 300,000 a month to help with the invasion of Iraq. His reward was to become Iraq President once the US took over. When that didn't happen Chalabi had an arrest warrent issued by the US. Chalabi went to Iran. Friends again as the US offered Chalabi a Iraq Cabinet job. Now that Iran/US are talking Chalabi is willing to let the secrets out for let's say something.
