Remember when that reluctant band of earnest neocons were duped by that evil master mind chalabi to invade Iraq?
@SBalaghi @adamjohnsonNYC For sure! But Adam's point–that you can find "a" group of exiles to serve an agenda–is I think quite valid.

@ChMadar@adamjohnsonNYC I get that but that many categories-academics, thinktank analysts, journalist-- were complicity in Iraq debacle. -
@SBalaghi@adamjohnsonNYC Without a doubt! As Adam tweeted earlier in fact. Important not to scapegoat a minor tool who happened to be Iraqi -
@ChMadar@adamjohnsonNYC Yup. Remember even at the time many Arab exiles in the US, i.e. Edward Said, publicly opposed Chalabi's narrative. -
@SBalaghi@adamjohnsonNYC Just as most Iranian diaspora ppl in the US think the#MEK are batshit, though the Beltway feels differently.
