Paul Bremer
Image
I think the Iraqi people have shown extraordinary patience and courage in the last few months. They have really put a political system on the way to success, to a real democracy here.
Paul Bremer
Image
I think what we've learned is that the terrorist threat is serious, but it shifts. You cannot make a single person the sole focus of your counterterrorism.
Paul Bremer
Image
I think we Americans, of all people, understand the importance of a good, legal, constitutional framework as the basis of political life.
