Bremer uncertain now...

During a speech Tuesday at Michigan State University, he said his remarks had been somewhat distorted by the media.

No way! Th media distorting something into a negative about the President. I dont believe it!

"One way to have stopped the looting would have been to have more troops on the ground. That's a retrospective wisdom of mine, looking backwards. I think there are enough troops there now for the job we are doing."

Now he sounds confused.

"We paid a big price for not stopping it because it established an atmosphere of lawlessness, we never had enough troops on the ground."
"The single most important change — the one thing that would have improved the situation — would have been having more troops in Iraq at the beginning and throughout"

How do you take those remarks out of context?
"The single most important change — the one thing that would have improved the situation — would have been having more troops in Iraq at the beginning and throughout"
What does Mr Bremer mean by that if he doesn't mean...what he says? I suspect phone calls were placed to Mr Bremer, warning him about his job prospects in the private sector if Mr Bush gets to keep his job.

I'm positive that the republicans and the administration threatened him with something to retract an unmistakable quote ripping the administration's complete lack of a post war plan.

The equivalent of it, yes. Much more civilized, but the effect is the same. Still, his words are unambiguous. There's no taking them out of context. |

Although that may be correct - there is really no proof of that. He could just as easily have been misquoted as he said.

The remarks were defintiely taken out of context. The sentence imediately preceding the quote reads like this, "It would be very troubling for the Bush Administration if I made the following false statement:"
The liberal devils in the press would never report that. They hate liberty too much!

Although a bit harsh - probably more correct then most here would admit.
