What punishment does L. Paul Bremer deserve? Is hanging too good for him?
He's the little craphound that went in (was sent in??) to head the CPA. He's the toadie that went to Iraq to establish a NeoCon Utopia with such conservative staples unlimited free trade and banning of trade unions yet let hospitals and clinics go unfunded for reconstruction. He's the guy that gave the order to disband the standing army, fired thousands of teachers, left the Iraqi oil industry totally unregulated and let's not forget the $9B that just disappeared under the CPA's authority. In my opinion, he's the one mainly responsible for the mess Iraq is in right now.

At the very least he's the poster boy for GWB's war. His actions in Iraq put are directly responsible for the disaster that is today's Iraq yet he gets a Presidential Medal Of Freedom. Just shows that loyalty means so much more to Bush than actual performance.

Thanks for listening. Rant over.

1. We should get our money back for starters
Then return that bogus Medal of Freedom with a public apology. And after that I would like him to languish in a jail cell for the rest of his life.

8. It's just 9 BILLION DOLLARS... Petty cash to NeoCons
Cash going out in duffel bags. No accounting. No wonder we lost this war.

3. Just like Hitlers civilian leaders and military leaders he should
be prosecuted at the Hague...and (I am not usually a vengeful person) but I believe that it must either hanging or hard labor for the rest of his miserable life....wait I have a better sentence...to let him live in the remnants of Iraq and see what the Iraqi people have in mind..

7. I'm with you..
He should be put outside the Green Zone. I'm sure that he had high ideals but his shortsightedness and strict adherence to dogma got us into this mess.

Yea where is the little weasel lately?

5. We could make him think he's drowning. That's not torture.
Heh.

6. Prosecution for sure, but where is that slimeball?
I haven't heard a thing about him since he got his medal. I'd be interested to know if he's living it up somewhere on some of that missing money!

9. For starters he needs to get a subpoena
and be compelled to testify under oath about exactly what happened and why during his reign of error, and in particular who exactly ordered him to have the Iraqi Army disbanded and the entire civil service fired. Then when we have that information we need to subpoena those folks and get to the bottom of the question: criminally negligent incompetence or outright treason? Then we can consider hanging some folks, although as a strong advocate against the death penalty I'd prefer a very long prison sentence.

11. Apparently the big decisions were made by Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz
Does that mean he shouldn't hang?

No. Just that he shouldn't be hung as high.

12. I say we put him on public display in downtown Baghdad
Methinks the Iraqi citizens will know what to do



Yes, that is a cheap plastic molded chair he is sitting on and somehow seems appropriate. :rofl:
