Bremer gets more instructions 13/11/2003 The US civilian administrator for Iraq, Paul Bremer, dashes off to Washington, hastily cancelling a meeting with the Polish Prime Minister in Baghdad. The summoning of Bremer adds to the growing realisation that the Bush administration is floundering in its - for want of a better description - Iraq policy. The manner of Bremer's quick departure may have raised eyebrows, but there is no denying its necessity. Washington is finding it increasingly difficult to hide its frustration with the security situation in Iraq and the performance of the optimistically named Iraqi governing council. The anxiety of the White House is apparent. The US-appointed governing council has, at best, a patchy record and has done little to inspire confidence, especially, though not limited to, its lack of progress in drafting a constitution by the December 15 deadline set by the United Nations. No matter how you look at it, whatever spin you want to apply, one thing is abundantly clear: the US occupation of Iraq is not succeeding and the international community, as well as growing numbers of Americans are aware of this. The fate of the Iraqi people is too important to be subordinate to the re-election concerns of the White House. gulf-news.com
