Toward a New Government in Iraq 

Toward a New Government in Iraq

If this isn't funny, nothing is:

"Iraqi officials who have been in close contact with Washington say the parties that will have to be represented in the caretaker government include the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, which has close ties to Iran, and Dawa, another influential Shiite group. The Communist Party is also likely to be represented, they said." (NYT--Billmon--Atrios).

And Billmon again: "As for Chalabi, well, it's a hell of a fall - from Iraq's president-in-waiting to persona non gratia with the new regime. Maybe if he joined the Iraq Communist Party, he could get his foot back in the door."
