#1 Paul Bremer has nothing to defend. He has made of Iraq far more than MacArthur made of post-war Japan, and proportionally more can be expected of Iraq in the future because of it. It will dominate the entire middle east through a combination of a triple-A gold plated financial system and an ordered, rational and transparent government, the likes of which is unique in the world. Bremer was able to pick and choose the very best of what makes a modern nation, setting the Iraqis up for unimagined prosperity, development, and sustainability. It will not be long before they are classed as 1st-world power, perhaps even becoming the heart of a future "middle-east common market" bloc.

IF they can keep it.

#3 He defended himself when asked how he can say that the war isnât motivated by a neo-conservative agenda, including advancing corporate interests in oil fields

Sigh.... more utter horseshit from the clueless MSM. Again, repeat after me: the oil companies wanted to do business with Saddam, not overthrow him. The policies urged by Wolfowitz et al were exactly counter to what every oil company on the planet was urging. The neo-cons have zero interest in advancing the agenda or interests of the oil majors.

When will this biggest of Big Lies finally be put to rest?
