Bremer: Bush Is Still Right About Iraq

Apparently tired of how the media establishment and its pet John Kerry have distorted his recent remarks on Iraq, former administrator L. Paul Bremer III has a column today in the worst offender, the New York Times.

Among his points:

# "The press has been curiously reluctant to report my constant public support for the president's strategy in Iraq.

"I have been involved in the war on terrorism for two decades, and in my view no world leader has better understood the stakes in this global war than President Bush.”

# "The president was right when he concluded that Saddam Hussein was a menace who needed to be removed from power.

"He understands that our enemies are not confined to al-Qaida, and certainly not just to Osama bin Laden, who is probably trapped in his hide-out in Afghanistan.

"As the bipartisan 9/11 commission reported, there were contacts between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime going back a decade. We will win the war against global terror only by staying on the offensive and confronting terrorists and state sponsors of terror - wherever they are.

"Right now, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Qaida ally, is a dangerous threat. He is in Iraq.”

# "Mr. Kerry is free to quote my comments about Iraq.

"But for the sake of honesty he should also point out that I have repeatedly said, including in all my speeches in recent weeks, that President Bush made a correct and courageous decision to liberate Iraq from Saddam Hussein's brutality, and that the president is correct to see the war in Iraq as a central front in the war on terrorism.”

a quote from bill "moonhead" schneider on CNN regarding the week that President Bush has had.....

" With friends like the President has, who needs Democrats " ? he totally ignored the piece that Bremer did in the NYT. Typical CNN liberal tripe.

We can pressure national and local media to cover this.

John Kerry has made Mr. Bremer's statements relevant.

He is entirely right Bremmer really put it to Bush big time and nothing he can do now is going to make amends
It will look phoney

When the hell are fools like him going to learn the media is out to screw the GOP and keep their damn mouths shut
I don't care if the remarks wer off the record or private
If there is a reporter present SHUT UP

I’m John Kerry and I don’t approve of this message.

I, for one, am sick of this guy, Bremer! Is there any way he can be given a cyber slap in the face?!
