Read "Cobra II"

The military leadership wanted the famous "troop surge" when hostilities were begining to die down, to ensure security AFTER the shooting stopped.

It discusses how Bremer went against the Pentagons plan to keep 3 divisions of Iraqi military (North, South and Central) led be Generals whom were Bathist only because they had to get the card. He fired the entire military...which left us with 400k ****ed off dudes.

Good read.
