6. But did the administration really want Ahmed?

Sure, they did back in 2003, but it seems like the relationship was ended by Washington's charging him with being an Iranian agent a few months ago. There was no sign his visit to the U.S. this fall succeeded in rehabilitating him in the eyes of the White House.

If anything, I think BushCo would probably be just as happy if, granting that the elections will probably produce a pro-Iranian Shi'ite radical as Iraq's new leader, it not be the one that Americans will remember them touting a couple of years ago.
