Reply #3: Is Bremer on the way out? [View All]

[Catfish]

Saw this on tpm this AM:

"Is Bremer out? Is he being promoted? Suspended? Two weeks ago the rumor was that he was trying to resign."

Then I was surprised Abizaid was advocating a return to actual war fighting.

"Almost two weeks ago now, Bremer had consultations with senior Pentagon officials. And the chatter out of those meetings said that Bremer had grown deeply pessimistic about his job in Iraq and that John Abizaid, chief of the US Central Command, was advocating some sort of decisive move back toward actual war-fighting to arrest the rapidly deteriorating security situation."

That doesn't bode well for a faster transition.
