In order to appease Iraq and the UN, the US is no longer considering letting the new Iraqi government be ruled by Ahmad Chalabi, an out-of-touch Iraqi expatriot war profiteer with a murky past and suspicious ties to the CIA.
Instead, they are now considering Iyad Allawi, a relative of Chalabi, who is an out-of-touch Iraqi expatriot war profiteer with a murky past and suspicious ties to the CIA. Oh... and he's also a former member of the Ba'ath Party.
