He was interim Minister of Oil in Iraq〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chalabi Named Iraq Oil Minister )〕 in April–May 2005 and December 2005 – January 2006 and Deputy Prime Minister from May 2005 to May 2006. Chalabi failed to win a seat in parliament in the December 2005 elections, and when the new Iraqi cabinet was announced in May 2006, he was not given a post. Once dubbed the "George Washington of Iraq"〔''The New Republic'', "Are Foreign Rebel Leaders Duping The American Right, Again?", 11 August 2003〕 by American supporters, he later fell out of favor and came under investigation by several U.S. government sources. He was also the subject of a 2008 biography by investigative journalist Aram Roston, ''The Man Who Pushed America to War: The Extraordinary Life, Adventures, And Obsessions of Ahmad Chalabi''〔(The Man Who Pushed America to War; The Extraordinary Life, Adventures, And Obsessions of Ahmad Chalabi )〕 and a 2011 biography by ''60 Minutes'' producer Richard Bonin, ''Arrows of the Night: Ahmad Chalabi's Long Journey to Triumph in Iraq''. Chalabi was a controversial figure, especially in the United States, for many reasons: In the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), with the assistance of lobbying powerhouse BKSH & Associates,〔Adam Roston, (Chalabi's Lobby ) ''The Nation'' 3 April 2008〕 provided a major portion of the information on which U.S. Intelligence based its condemnation of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, including reports of weapons of mass destruction and alleged ties to al-Qaeda. Most, if not all, of this information has turned out to be false and Chalabi has been called a fabricator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Scribe )〕 That, combined with the fact that Chalabi subsequently boasted, in an interview with the British ''Sunday Telegraph'', about the impact that their alleged falsifications had on American policy, led to a falling out between him and the U.S. government. Furthermore, Chalabi was found guilty in the Petra banking scandal in Jordan. In January 2012, a French intelligence official stated that they believed Chalabi to be an Iranian agent.〔Souad Mekhennet, "In Bahrain, Worries Grow of Violent Shiite-Sunni Confrontation", 25 January 2012, ''The New York Times'', ()〕 == Early life == Chalabi was the son of a prominent Shi'a family,〔 one of the wealthy power elite of Baghdad. He was born at Kadhimiya in 1944. His family, who dated back 300 years to the Sultanate ran Iraq’s oldest commercial bank under the British-backed Kingdom of Iraq. His father was a wealthy grain merchant and member of the Iraqi parliament, became head of the senate when King Abdullah was assassinated. His family retired from public life to a farmhouse near Baghdad when the military seized power. Chalabi left Iraq with his family in 1958, following the 14 July Revolution,〔 and spent most of his life in the United States and the United Kingdom. He was educated at Baghdad College and Seaford College in Sussex, England before leaving for America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahmed Chalabi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
