Countdown - Bush - Bremer
Posted on September 5th, 2007 by ecthompson
It takes something special to make a neocon turn against the president. Bush hung Bremer out to dry by saying in a new book (Dead Certain) “…Mr. Bush was quoted in a new book as saying that American policy had been ‘to keep the army intact’ but that it ‘didn’t happen.’” So, Paul Bremer fought back by releasing 2 letters to the NY Times. (Letter from Bremer to Bush and Letter from Bush to Bremer) It is now clear that Bush was part of the decision to dissolve the Iraqi Army. Books Like Fiasco and Cobra II had laid the blame on Bremer and Rumsfeld. It is now clear that Bush, who is supposed to be a student of history, was the one who personally approved of this huge screw up.
