Fint SPINS a good story...Bremmer reported to Rummy...and what did State have to do woth Iraq once it was under military rule...
Now it was Bremmer who sent the Baathist (Civil service) home and disbanded the Army....72 hours later the insurgency started. Bremmer did this all by himself with no help form anybody.

Bremmer reported to the President, not Rumsfeld. The Dept of Defense was all about fighting wars not building governments and peacekeeping, babysitting, or preventing the crazies from killing each other.
The military exits to kill people and break things. Once Iraq fell, it was up to others to decide how to proceed, not DoD. Rumsfeld had to work within the guidelines he was provided. The country is not and has never been under military rule.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
