The credibility of the Whitehouse is sliding faster than an Olympic bobsledder. Last week the Presidents approval rating was at about 37%. Today I read that, the CIA had a high ranking paid informant within the Iraqi government. This is the guy that gave the rebuttal to the now infamous Collin Powel speech in fron of the UN. His name is Naji Sabri and he was quite high up in the Hussein government as he was educated, and quite comfortable with western culture and thought. If you recall, at the time we also had Chalabi running around "curve ball", telling the Bush Whitehouse that Iraq was still producing and researching WMD. You see Chalabi wanted to run Iraq after Saddam, and that was ok with Bush. Unfortunately Chalabi was full of crap, he lied and stole money he was given to promote Saddam's ouster. Meanwhile, the CIA got hold of Sabri, through contacts with the French government. Sabri told the CIA what he knew. he told them that there were no WMD programs going on in Iraq, that they had been dismantled, and destroyed. Saddam of course wanted his enemies to think he had them as a matter of national security, but it was easy for the CIA to see through his charade. Sabri was ignored by the Bush Whitehouse because his information didn't support the actions they had in the works. Iraqi oil needed to be secured and supressed. As it's been said, Iraq is to be thought of as a perfect base for military operations sitting on an oil reserve. Nothing would stand in their way of the NeoCon plan. Not even the truth.
