Your article about Bremer is confirmed or coincides with very similar article by Amir Tahernia.

.... "He scuttled Jay Garner's desire for early sovereignty. In late July, Bremer vetoed a Governing Council proposal to create a prime minister, saying that this might undercut his power. Fearing any challenge to his authority, Bremer gave a series of condescending radio addresses mocked by Iraqis. Rather than promote the new generation of Iraqi politicians, Bremer put himself at the center of press attention. For example, Bremer decided that he, rather than an Iraqi official, would announce the new Iraqi currency. "

This is really sad, just SAD... we have missed a huge window of opportunity in the last 12 months. We COULD HAVE remade Iraq very much in our image *if* we quickly moved to create a 'pro-American' Iraqi power structure. Now, instead, Bremer has spent 12 months chipping away at anyone in leadership positions for his own aggrandizement.

You act like Bush couldn't make Bremer do whatever he wanted him to do. Whatever Bremer does, he does with Bush's acceptance.
