How I Didn’t Dismantle Iraq’s Army - New York Times
Contribution from Paul Bremer in the Times today and he explains how he didn't just make the call to dismantle the Iraqi Army, rather, it was a consensus that it ought to be done. Easy to look back and criticize his actions, but my issue with Bremer all along has been that he had no Middle Eastern experience, heck, they guy didn't speak Arabic. Given his background in European affairs, he probably did his best, but a bit too much finger pointing in this piece, but worth noting.
