Et tu, Bremer

[capriccio]

Anyone with a link to this Jerry Bremer pre-9/11 speech attacking Bush White House for ignoring terror threat? Heard just a a line or two on the radio this a.m. Seems to have been a very loud echo of Clake.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq, said in a speech six months before the September 11, 2001 attacks that the Bush administration was "paying no attention" to 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,"' said Bremer at McCormick Tribune Foundation conference on terrorism on February 26, 2001.
