The Bush administration has claimed that the plan in Iraq was to keep the army intact, but that for some unexplained reason that didn’t happen. The administration has sought to blame Paul Bremer for the action which it claimed it knew nothing about. In reality, Bush knew of the plan to “dissolve Saddam’s military and intelligence structures,” and was told so in 2003 in a letter from his Iraqi envoy.
Why has this deception come to light now? Well Paul Bremer read about the new book that paints Bush in an innocent light with regard to the dismantling of the Iraqi army, a move now seen as a huge mistake. Bremer provided the letters to the New York Times as proof that the quotes in the book are lies.
Bush wrote back to Bremer upon hearing of the plan to dismantle the Iraq army the following, “Your leadership is apparent… you have quickly made a positive and significant impact. You have my full support and confidence.”
Another lie to add to the President’s list of falsehoods and prevarications. How many lies and deceptions will it take before the Congress gets this criminal out of office?
