Paul Bremer admits the White House did not know what the hell they were doing in Iraq! Really? I had no idea!

Paul Bremer, who led the U.S. civilian occupation authority in Iraq after the 2003 invasion, has admitted the United States did not anticipate the insurgency in the country, NBC Television said on Friday.

Bremer, interviewed by the network in connection with release of his book on Iraq, recounted the decision to disband the Iraqi army quickly after arriving in Baghdad, a move many experts consider a major miscalculation.

When asked who was to blame for the subsequent Iraqi rebellion, in which thousands of Iraqis and Americans have died, Bremer said "we really didn't see the insurgency coming," the network said in a news release.

But they should have seen it coming. George Bush's own father wrote a book on the possibility of the Iraqi's organizing against an invading American force. That was one of the reasons he chose not to remove Saddam from power during Desert Storm. And Colin Powell also warned the administration of the instability that existed in the region and how unpredictable the outcome of the invasion might be.

They had plenty of information to be prepared. They chose not to listen to it.
