This letter is referring to events that happened in the past. In 2003 to be exact. Author Draper just published a book about Pres. BUsh called "Dead Certain" In the book he quotes Bush as not ordering, or being aware that the Iraqi Army was to be disbanned. He says he was as surprised as anyone else about the Iraqi Army being disbanned, and that he did not instruct his appointee in Bagdad, L. Paul Bremmer, to disband the army. And this is due to the fact that disbanding the Iraqi army turned out to be one of the worst things that we could have done.
So now the book is out and it makes L Paul Bremmer look like he acted on his own. So L Paul Bremmer wants the US citizens and the world to know that he disbaned the Iraqi army on orders by and with direct knowledge of President Bush.
This is an attempt by Bush and even Bremmer to lay blame on each other for this really stupid move on the part of the US in Iraq in 2003. Just one of many stupid moves on the part of the US.
ONe of the reasons that disbanding the army was so bad is because it put a lot of men out of work. Men who had experience in fighting and knowledge of weapon caches and knowledge of the streets. Now these men had no way to support their own families, they got mad and joined the opposition, and now fight AGAINST the US army
Some have come around but not everyone and it is really too late.
