Now, Reuters is saying Chalabi got the Oil Minister job through a "coup"

it looks like the only one who consistently comes out on top in all the garbage that iraq is suffering through is ahmad chalabi, the one whose lies helped bush start the war in the first place...

Uloum's resignation as oil minister came after what looked like an old-style ministerial coup last month, when he was placed on leave against his will and replaced by Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi.

Uloum had opposed the December 19 fuel prices rises, saying they should have been introduced more gradually. The price of premium gasoline went up by 200 percent, with other fuels doubling in price. However, given the level of subsidy, further price rises seem likely under the IMF's strictures.

he has no credibility but he obviously still wields a lot of power... chalabi's been trying to get himself a fiefdom in iraq for many years... i guess controlling iraq's oil would qualify, huh...?
