		PAUL BREMER: Well, I have the ultimate authority in the sense that, as a legal matter, I represent the coalition authority, which is the sovereign power there; but I have said ever since the governing council was established in July, I don't intend to exercise my theoretical veto.
		PAUL BREMER: No, but that's more of a reflection on the fact that I was a happily employed businessman ten days before I wound up in Baghdad, so I didn't have time to study a lot of things, but I found it out when I got there pretty quickly.
		PAUL BREMER: What the $6 billion can do is get us back to a position where we're meeting not only current demand, which think is about 6,000 megawatts, but demand as the economy grows, as we hope it will grow over the next year and a half to two years.

		Paul Bremer took over as the head of the so-called "Coalition Provisional Authority" in Iraq in May of 2003 after the dismissal of Jay Garner from said post.
		Under the guise of "de-Ba'athification," Bremer dismissed 30,000 Ba?ath Party officials from their jobs a move that was in actuality a way of "downsizing" public services in Iraq, creating a space where private corporations had to come into fill the void left by the absence of public workers.
		Moreover, during Bremer's time as head of the CPA Iraqi civilians continued to be targeted and killed by the United States, with the total number of civilian deaths for the whole war and occupation period exceeding 11,000.

		Bremer has ordered that the national security adviser and the national intelligence chief chosen by the interim prime minister he selected, Ayad Allawi, be given five-year terms, imposing Allawi's choices on the elected government that is to take over next year.
		As of June 14, Bremer had issued 97 legal orders, which are defined by the U.S. occupation authority as "binding instructions or directives to the Iraqi people" that will remain in force even after the transfer of political authority.
		Other regulations promulgated by Bremer prevent former members of the Iraqi army from holding public office for 18 months after their retirement or resignation, stipulate a 30-year minimum sentence for people caught selling weapons such as grenades and ban former militiamen integrated into the Iraqi armed forces from endorsing and campaigning for political candidates.

	Bremer Criticizes Troop Levels (washingtonpost.com)
		Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, administrator for the U.S.-led occupation government until the handover of political power on June 28, said he still supports the decision to intervene in Iraq but said a lack of adequate forces hampered the occupation and efforts to end the looting early on.
		Bremer's comments were striking because they echoed contentions of many administration critics, including Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, who argue that the U.S. government failed to plan adequately to maintain security in Iraq after the invasion.
		Bremer also said he believes winning the war in Iraq is an "integral part of fighting this war on terror." He added that he "strongly supports" President Bush's reelection.

	Bremer says charge of blocking oil-for-food probe 'nonsense' - The Washington Times: World - July 03, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bremer, who relinquished his post as the supreme authority in Iraq on Monday, said in an interview Thursday that he moved quickly to secure all records in Baghdad relating to the scandal and acted to head off what he said was a politicized investigation of the probe by the now-disbanded Iraqi Governing Council.
		Bremer's actions short-circuited the investigation, and may have been intended to shield the United Nations from criticism at a time when the Bush administration was desperately seeking international support in Iraq.
		Bremer in the interview said the Board of Supreme Audit had secured "tens of thousands of boxes" of relevant material at his direction, and that all the documents had been safeguarded in Baghdad for inspection by the U.N. investigators, U.S. government experts and other "legitimate" bodies.

	Paul Bremer - Can he bring peace to Iraq—and the Bush administration? By Chris Suellentrop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Perhaps the best evidence for Bremer as The One comes from the early debate over whether he was Colin Powell's or Donald Rumsfeld's man. On May 2, reports in both the New York Times and the Washington Post on Bremer's appointment declared it a Foggy Bottom victory.
		In Iraq, Bremer has implemented this unilateral approach on a smaller scale by wisely dumping the "listening tour" approach employed by Garner and introducing a series of long-overdue actions.
		The Independent's Phil Reeves poked fun at the "peculiar endorsement of Saddam's judicial system" when Bremer said that some of the prisoners released by Saddam need to be re-jailed, but Bremer's tough actions are exactly the kind of necessary ruthlessness that Slate's David Plotz reported would be necessary to restore order in Iraq.

		Clearly, al-Sistani and Ambassador Bremer are engaged in a political dispute over the timing and conduct of elections in Iraq.
		For Ambassador Bremer to remain willfully oblivious to the deeply entrenched Shi’ite dogma of najas, or worse, ignoring and tacitly accepting its discriminatory effects, bodes poorly for American efforts to help Iraqis create a modern democratic and ecumenical society.
		Bremer might start this process by insisting on a face to face meeting with al-Sistani.

		In at least two recent appearances, former administrator Paul Bremer said the United States didn't have enough troops in Iraq after the fall of Baghdad and failed to contain chaos.
		Bremer's remarks put the White House on the defensive less than a month before the presidential election and added to the disagreements over Iraq among former and current administration officials.
		Bremer, addressing an insurance conference Monday in West Virginia, said the United States "never had enough troops on the ground" and that "we paid a big price for not stopping it (the looting) because it established an atmosphere of lawlessness."

	US 'Never' Had Enough Troops in Iraq: Bremer
		Paul Bremer has admitted the United States "never" had enough ground troops in Iraq to establish firm control of the country, directly contradicting assertions by President George W. Bush and top Pentagon officials that the US military had what it needed to win the war.
		Bremer's remarks drew a stark contrast with repeated upbeat statements by Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top administration officials, who have insisted the United States had enough forces in Iraq.
		In publicly acknowledging shortcomings in pre-war planning Bremer joins a long list of US officials and military experts, who have accused the administration of trying to conduct the war on the cheap -- and eschewing a politically nettlesome and expensive decision to boost the size of the military.

		Bremer said that while U.S. forces are coming under daily attack, security in Iraq is "not as bad as people think it is. Most of the country is at peace..." But he says the more immediate threat is international terrorists.
		Bremer also said that while U.S. troops are responsible for overall security in Iraq, the safety of the U.N. compound was the responsibility of the private security force hired by U.N. officials.
