http://feeds.cbsnews.com/podcast_60min_1 As for whether was at fault - sort of, but it's a cop out: 1.) He was only there 1 year 2.) Normally Ambassadors report to State, but Bremer reported to Rumsfeld as Rumsfeld's engineering. 3.) Bush appointed both Bremer and Rumsfeld. As for the specific decision on the Iraqi army, the army was already dissolved; the decision was whether to reconstitute it and continue pay. Fault lies in this way: 1.) Bremer made the foolish decision 2.) Rummy had no process in place to check it 3.) Bush had no process in place to check it. In the case of diplomacy (and war) Bush sets the mission, State (or DoD in this case) executes it. Bush didn't set the mission, Rummy didn't know what was going on, and both of them put a guy in place who didn't have the experience to execute any mission much less an ill defined one and there was no process for decision making. Bush is ultimately accountable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:263431 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
