From a Frontline interview with Chalabi - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/truth/interviews/chalabi.html

Many people [in the U.S.] who supported the war no longer do.

Yes.

They feel that they were suckered.

Yes, probably.

They say so.

Okay, I mean, I don’t–

Well, I mean, you know, half the people now feel that the war wasn’t justified on the grounds that it was argued for.

Okay.

Do you feel any discomfort with that?

No. We are in Baghdad now.

“None of the Iraqis here in Baghdad will remember the Petra Bank issues — they don’t care,” said Jiyad. “More than anything, they will remember that Ahmed played a major role in the war and the invasion.”
