Where's Paul Bremer?
doesn't it strike anyone as odd how he just vanished?

Bush's big speech (lol) is timed for the anniversary of the handover of sovereignty.

Shouldn't Bremer be part of the festivities, and shouldn't every media outlet be clamoring for his insights and reflections?

6. Bahamas?
He made out big time, why should he stick around and cover for the dubby regime? Unless of course something is hanging over his head. In that case he'll be back for the big victory celebration.

:popcorn:

7. South of France, more likely
I think he has a home there. He mentioned his plans to study French cooking, when asked what he was going to do with his post-Iraq life. (no joke)

Oh, and Richard Perle calls France his home as well.

11. ROFL...Don't you remember he left Iraq running with his shirt and tie..
but left his "jacket" behind in his haste to get out of there before they "got him."

Bremmer is a "toad in hiding." The guy who shilled for Bush and got mega "passes" if he didn't "tell it all" from Bushie and his backers.

He always "dressed in high style though." NYTimes should be proud of how well Bremmer dressed and added to their "fashion supplements" about "How the Well Dressed US Interim Head of Iraq" dresses for the "masses."

:-( and :puke: on Bremmer.

12. Holy cow, he's on a commission investigating Iraq govt corruption!?!

Did a little looking around and found this from the Intl Herald tribune, dont know anything about IHT but it looks like its originally a NYT piece.

And GET THIS, Bremer is not investigating US companies, its of the 'Iraq' government.. as in THEY did it.
Could this be to finish his job, Bremer has to provide the cover story, ie ... those nasty furners are the ones who stole all the money.


Article is here-
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/06/24/news/corrupt.php

relevant quote on page three of the article ...


The commission, formed by the former chief U.S. administrator in Iraq, L. Paul Bremer, is legally allowed to investigate government corruption as far back as 1968.
