Chalabi Defends Iraq Intelligence

HeadlineNov 10, 2005

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi is in Washington this week. At an appearance at the American Enterprise Institute Wednesday, Chalabi was asked about faulty intelligence he passed the Bush administration on Iraq’s weapons capabilities. This was his response: “We are sorry for every American life that is lost in Iraq, and I regret ever loss of American lives that happen in Iraq, subsequent to the end of fighting with Saddam. As for the fact that I deliberately misled the American government–this is an urban myth.”
