Paul Bremer Criticizes Iraqi War
Former Bush viceroy in Iraq Paul Bremer yesterday criticized El Presidente's conduct of the war, saying two fatal mistakes were made (gee, only two): not enough troops deployed and the failure to contain lawlessness immediately following the capture of Baghdad (a result of too few troops, incidentally). Read all about it here.
What makes this Bremer utterance delicious is that an aide of his protested that his remarks were supposed to be "off the record" and not distributed to the news media. The speech was made at the Greenbriar to a group of insurance agents apparently looking for negative examples of risk assessment.
