5. let's review his situation:
The situation in Iraq is getting worse, not better. Humanitarian agencies, along with the Red Cross and the UN, are pulling out until the situation becomes more stabilized. "life in a powderkeg".

Bremer knows without a doubt that they are in this for a very long haul. He is surrounded by bodyguards. His compound is surrounded by barbed wire and is armed to the gills, but security is probably very vulnerable.

The fledgling Iraqi council is about to get an F on its report card for the year. Bush is "poised" to dump the lot of them and start over with _____ what?

Most importantly, these Iraqi resistance fighters are sharpening their skills. They are on a learning curve and they are getting very good. There is no shortage of arms, either. Every day, US troops confiscate houses packed with Kalashnikovs, rockets, bombs and various other devices.

In the meantime, Paul Bremer (who is Bush's cousin by the way) has accomplished nothing in the time he took over for General Tommy Franks.

Chances are pretty good he's homesick.
