I think some people are confusing John O. Brennan with L. Paul Bremer....
L. Paul Brerner was the Bush Appointee to be the "Governor" of Iraq when the invasion turned into an occupation.
It was Brerner who oversaw the pillaging of Baghdad.

Bremer arrived in Iraq as the U.S. Presidential Envoy on May 2003, and on May 11 replaced lieutenant general Jay Garner as Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance. In June, the Office was transformed into the Coalition Provisional Authority, and Bremer, as U.S. Administrator of Iraq, became the chief executive authority in the country.[6][7]
As the top civil administrator of the former Coalition Provisional Authority, Bremer was permitted to rule by decree. Among his first and most notable decrees were Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 1 which banned the Ba'ath party in all forms[8] and Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 2 dismantled the Iraqi Army.[9]
Bremer signs over limited sovereignty to Iraq's interim government, June 28, 2004 On July 13, 2003, Bremer approved the creation of an Iraqi Interim Governing Council with the stated mission of "ensuring that the Iraqi people's interests are represented." The council members were chosen by Bremer from among groups and individuals which had supported the American invasion of Iraq. Bremer retained veto power over the council's proposals. The council was authorized to select a limited number of delegates to key Coalition Provisional Authority committees, like the Program Review Board.
John O. Brennan is a career CIA man...
