Bremer Hauled Off To Ministry Of Love
Returns; claims to "Love Big Brother."
All three regular readers of Punch and Jude might remember this post from Thursday about Proconsul L. Paul Bremer's February 2001 criticism of the Bush Administration--his critique was that the Bush people were ignoring terrorism. He was, of course, correct.
But Rove and the Gang just couldn't have that--no criticism of the Boy King and his minions, even if said critique occurred three years ago and was largely correct. So they took Bremer into the dungeons, and, somewhat predictably, he came out saying this:
'In a statement Sunday, Bremer said his remarks three years ago "reflected my frustration" that none of his commission's recommendations had been implemented by Clinton or the new Bush administration.
"Criticism of the new administration, however, was unfair. President Bush had just been sworn into office and could not reasonably be held responsible for the Federal Government's inaction over the preceding 7 months," Bremer's Sunday statement said.
"I regret any suggestion to the contrary. In fact, I have since learned that President Bush had shared some of these frustrations, and had initiated a more direct and comprehensive approach to confronting terrorism consistent with the threats outlined in the National Commission report.
"I am strongly supportive and grateful for the President's leadership and strategy in combating terrorism and protecting American national security throughout his first term in office."'
Bremer also said that, in addition to being grateful for the President's leadership, he did in fact love Big Brother. He also renounced as heretical the idea that the earth moves around the sun; denied that any elements exist other than earth, air, fire, and water; affirmed that he was in league with the devil; and urged the return to Year Zero.
Bremer's execution is set for Tuesday. He is to be burned at the stake on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, which is now a subsidiary of Halliburton.
