Bremer asked blunt question

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

bremer at UN press conference. i only saw one question from a bbc (i think) reporter. the reporter said the question was blunt and asked what business was it of his (bremer) what kind of government the iraqis wanted. cnn cut off after his answer so i flipped to msnbc and they had just bailed out, too.

this was aprox. 10:15am

edit: spelling

1. heard that

you're right his answer was cut off....the guy wanted to know what business it was of the US to tell a sovereign country what they can have.....the answer has to be some where...

2. what business indeed.

there is simply no good answer to that question in the iraq/us question. but there is a good deal of blathering,

3. brief answer in NYT

Asked what "business is it of yours" to define Iraq's future laws, Mr. Bremer said that the American-led coalition authority had an "obligation" to ensure that an appropriate democratic structure was put into place in the country.
