Can't recall

L. Paul Bremer doesn't want to take the blame alone for dismantling the Iraqi army:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 — A previously undisclosed exchange of letters shows that President Bush was told in advance by his top Iraq envoy in May 2003 of a plan to “dissolve Saddam’s military and intelligence structures,” a plan that the envoy, L. Paul Bremer, said referred to dismantling the Iraqi Army.

Mr. Bremer provided the letters to The New York Times on Monday after reading that Mr. Bush was quoted in a new book as saying that American policy had been “to keep the army intact” but that it “didn’t happen.”

Bush said he couldn't remember exactly how it happened when the policy was to "keep the army intact." One wonders whether Bush is following Reagan into Alzheimer's land or simply lying once again. It's just amazing how no one in this administration can recall anything anymore.
