Paul Bremer SLAMS Bush on terror, pre-9/11

[DrBB]

Seen this? I searched but didn't find it posted on DU--sorry if I missed it.

Paul Bremer--that's right, Viceroy of Baghdad Bremer--was on the Gilmore Commission (terror recommendations in wake of embassy bombings). The Chicago Reader turns up his pre-9/11 comments about what a LOUSY job the "new administration" is doing in facing the problem of terrorism. This is VERY useful ammo, folks, and damning stuff.

The money quote:

"The new administration seems to be paying no attention to the problem of terrorism. What they will do is stagger along until there's a major incident and then suddenly say, 'Oh, my God, shouldn't we be organized to deal with this?' That's too bad. They've been given a window of opportunity with very little terrorism now, and they're not taking advantage of it. Maybe the folks in the press ought to be pushing a little bit."

Check it out!

3. Now we know

Now we know why Bremer got picked to go to Iraq. It wasn't because he was qualified, it was just Bush punishing Bremer for what he had said before.
