Of course, its mercenary
Mr. Blumenthal said it all when he mentioned Bremer.
Issuing order 17 is typical of his management of Iraq.
After all, his main aim was to wrest control of Iraq's oil from the Iraquis and put it in the hands of "the coalition of the willing" who invaded Iraq. He was busy granting companies contracts to do anything else.
Bremer dissolbved the Iraqui army, now considered a major mistake. The ethnic cleasning of the sunnis began under Bremer, too, which we have assisted in since day one of the occupation. And just as important, Bremer set up the parliamentary form of government which is so unworkable and does the least to protect minorties. A two house system,with one house based on provinces instead of population, was the original plan but Czar Bremer made sure it wasn't implemented.
Bremer and the neocons who gave us Iraq should dis in jail.
