Bremer said he urged more postwar troops in Iraq

"I think he IS right about the troop level in Iraq. It's obvious we've been trying to pacify the country on the "cheap". We need to be killing every terrorist in Iraq or entering the country."

There's two issues there. One is that a security/humanitarian contingent wasn't sufficient and sacrificed DoD capabilities. Two, that politicians and bureaucrats in DC (and lefties in Hollyweird) are arm-chairing and that Bush is capitulating to PC pressures to lesser extent.

Bremer ain't the only one second guessing the pros. He's just the latest. All year long the dims and their dimmer cousins, the socialist pc radicals, have been pimping a few mistakes that were made in this noble cause of protecting our country. playing politics is playing into the terrorists hands.

It ain't just the usual liberal elite in the rotten apple or the beltway bums still stewing about the gore/kerry failures. Out west they really know how to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Whatever cave that monster osama is holed up in I hope he's got a radio that gets Bill O'Reilly so he can get a few ideas on rattling some blue state cages and watching the rats jump ship.

I'm really tired of interviews which can wait until after a war is over. Then they can discuss it all they want publicly.

"Lets see the memo and find out what it really says.. Nice to see more people pimping their book by slaming Bush, etc."

Treason isn't such a bad thing anymore. In bygone days it would get you fitted for a rope around your neck, but today it helps make you rich. It's just another way to express your "inner child" and exercise your 1st Amendment rights, (or make a living).

The distinction between good and evil was lost in our country with the introduction of 'tolerance', which allowed for every evil under the sun to express itself with the full backing of the law.

I'm sick of politicians who think they know more about fighting the war than the generals in the field. What gives some political hack that a$$-kissed his way into a diplomatic post the right to become an instant authority on military matters.

Big flaming egos at work!

But it is a fact that there were not enough troops in Iraq to cope with the aftermath.

There was too much emphasis on what was needed to topple Saddam and not enough thought into coping with the aftermath.

It took over eight months or more for a stabilisation and pacification operation to be put into place.

Instead of seizing the window of opportunity we sat back and allowed a vacuum to develop that was seized bu the various terrorist organisations out there.

Bremer sounds like McCain without the Senator status.

Looks like they need a new section at the bookstore.........Leftist dogma, turncoats and traitors.

Turncoat Bremer.....

Needs the book money to maintain perk-filled lifestyle he was accustomed to while working for the government in a high capacity

Needs the personal appearances, TV interviews and lecture money the book will engender

Needs the spotlight and ego gratification he got used to while working for the government in a high capacity

Wants a future government job in a high capacity and is betting on the next administration being Democrat

Prefers whine and quiche parties with other effete liberals at Hillary's DC salon to barbeques with roughneck yahoos at a ranch in flyover country

In other words, he's a carbon copy of Weasely Clark and other "ex-this" and "ex-thats" who regularly mouth off about the Bush administration and the war.

The usual.....money, ego, power.

Bremer is so clonish.

Anything to increase book sales. Unethical, at best.
