Excerpted from DEBKA:
Senior White House officials, including national security advisor Condoleezza Rice, senior NSC staffers and top Pentagon brass, were telling Bush back in February - about a month and a half before the current heavy fighting erupted in Iraq - that Bremer's policy was wrong and could do some real damage. DEBKA #147 (27 FEB 04) reported that Bush had decided to replace him but was looking for the right moment to avoid political aftershocks in Washington and Baghdad. Seeing the writing on the wall - Bremer approached Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and offered to join his camp immediately after ending his Baghdad assignment. Bremer's support came with one condition: a promise he would be one of the front-runners for secretary of state if Kerry was elected.....Bush's point man in Iraq for an entire critical year is a hot property for Kerry's brainstorming team. His defection to the Democratic contender would eloquently spell out for the American voter what he thinks of Bush policy on one of the most sensitive issues of the election campaign. He will provide Kerry with an instant rebuttal weapon, an authoritative figure to face the cameras and challenge any new policy move, military step or statement made by a top Bush official on Iraq......But he (Bremer) is only biding his time until the end of June, when sovereignty in Iraq is transferred to an Iraqi caretaker government and he hands over the newly appointed US viceroy John Negroponte, current ambassador to the UN. Once Bremer is home, he will wait for a signal from Kerry and then make the jump to his top team of advisors.
Is this the "unforeseen event" that Hillary Clinton made reference to when she said Bush may not be reelected?
