Paul Bremer has been bashed for weeks for not heeding the wise council of the State Department and it's infinite prescience and therefore knowing he should have kept the Iraqi Army intact. Never mind that many of those articles have obviously been based on State Department sources. Now into the weighing into the debate comes Walter Slocombe, a pretty wise man himself, always worth listenting to, with a pretty good dose of reality for those who think we would be in far better shape today if we had just kept those 500,000 men in garrison. Well worth reading.
