I will search for thw video on youtube.

Hasan: how many troops will you need to kick out isil?

Paul brenmer: i don't know i think 10000

Hasan: you had 150, 000 troops during your occupation of Iraq and you could barely hold the place how do you think 10,000 will do the 150000 couldn't do.

Paul: stammers I Think the military would know better maybe 2000 or 3000, 20000

Hasan: you are talking about a well organized brutal organization. ...



Hasan: does the 100s of 1000s of life lost in iraq ever pricks your conscience?

Paul: that is a stewpid question to ask you can't overlook the good we did, iraqs economy is better than under sadam

Hasan: how is sadam performance anobjective criteria to judge your performance. The question is does it trouble your conscience that 100s of 1000s of life were lost as a result.

Although Bremmer makes it looks like he did well in Iraq, he made a lot of mess there. I wonder what Goerge Bush thought when he made such reckless decision.

Not recalling 300,000 soldiers of Saddam Hussein was definitely going to lead to a catastrophic situation in the country. Those who lost their jobs with jobs after they broke up Saddam's party was going to raise people sympathetic to any terror fight against a democratic Iraq and America.

The sectarian appointments generated Sentiments. What were they thinking? Listening to the video from just the anchors point of view can make someone mad.

The Bremmer did not have a shred of experience. George Bush just wanted a puppet there.

Sad that this led to the loss of lives and raised a terror group against the World.

What is disturbing is his absolute lack of remorse. The Iraqi army they disbanded who didn't have Isil leaning would join hand with the same elements they persecueted during the reign of saddam. You sometimes wonder when will all this end?

TheGoodJoe:


It is hard for me to believe George Bush did not know what he was doing. 300,000 Soldiers with Arms not recalled was a catastrophe waiting to happen. Employing a young man with no experience in finance to open the stock exchange for Iraq was a slap to the Iraqis.

I think is a case of making sure there is problem in Iraq and the funding of war by the Americans will continue for a long time.

Bush seem to be more clueless than jonathan. I think his evil vice cheney had more to do with this. And truly one cannot overlook the second point you wrote. The us doesn't look so sloopy to the extent they would have made such grave mistake in iraq.

TheGoodJoe:


It is impossible for US to make that kind of mistake. You are on point there. For them to make such mistake, then it was deliberate.

Imagine they kept Collin Powell away from of those decisions because they new he would oppose them. I feel it was a deliberate plan. These guys are so analytical in forecasting causes and effects. They knew what they were doing. Elongating their stay in Iraq and as we have it, the war is still on.
