"

Asked whether led to the emergence of al-Maliki in "the form of a dictator," Re Bremer said, "Maliki's close political circle, yes I did so, and the United States, in my view, to act. In my opinion, should be the administration should tell the owners: will give you any military equipment unless it is committed to reopen political dialogue to include everyone. them in particular to say to him that we look forward to free and fair elections next spring and Thelma stipulated in the Iraqi constitution. "

And Bremer considered that the current situation in Iraq, despite the violence, but "it is better than it was during the rule of Saddam Hussein."

He explained, "even with regard to violence situation is better than it was during the twenty years of Saddam's rule, and the social and economic status better .. فالناتج total doubled eight times what it was during Saddam and a larger proportion of Iraqis now enjoy the services of the state of drinking water, electricity and others.'m Sure that without Saddam Pat put Iraqis better, as well as the development of the United States.
