If my "theory" regarding placing Chalabi in power in Iraq is correct [see earlier post on "Iraq: The End of the Beginning or the Beginning of the End"], that removes the third leg of the stool from the Administration's arguments for invasion.
The three legs were: WMD, regime change and democracy. Other arguments were made...control of oil, the threat to Israel, etc., but these were the main three reasons used to "sell" the war.
The WMD argument is gone. The regime change has occured. If we failed to plan for a post-war Iraq because we intended to place Chalabi in power, that pretty well negates the "democracy" argument.
