Bremer sitting in Saddam's chair on Fox
I never noticed this before, when Bremer speaks from Iraq does he always sit in an ornate chair, with a tapestry hanging behind him, obviously in a palace in Baghdad?

I realize that they choose settings that are meant to communicate to the audience where the person is, but it seems to me the way they normally do this is to put them so palm trees are showing in the background.

Bremer looked really strange sitting in that fancy chair, it really conveyed an image of an imperial situation.

1. I noticed that, as well...
Probably intentional, to convey to the Iraqi people that Saddam's gone and he's never coming back... :eyes:

2. But it probably implies
"Look, I am the new Saddam!"

3. You mean Bremer's actually in Iraq?
Seems like every time I hear about the guy, he's somewhere other than in Iraq. It's nice to know he's in Iraq doing his job... oh wait, he's on a talk show?

Never mind then.

4. maybe that was the point
Maybe they were afraid that other people noticed that whenever hell breaks loose in Iraq, Bremer seems to be over here. It certainly seems that way to me.

7. Perhaps Bremer and the chair are on a "Capricorn One" stage.



:scared:

5. That's the point
bush junior is just a petty 'tard, looking for cheap thrills and glory whereever he can find (or, rather, make) it...

Makes you wish the Iraqi rocket had hit his hotel, doesn't it? Given what americans have done in that country, and what they hadn't done either, everything representative of the US in that country get what they deserve, sorry for the callousness, I'm normally not that way... But all that human history - gone and plundered, stolen, or destroyed. US troops told not to interfere until it was long since too late. All sorts of nuclear and other facilities - raided by people who will now try to use what they collected in Iraq or even come here into the US to use it, and with reports and college kids are showing NOTHING OF VALUE has been done to change the situation, it's only a matter of time until they do show up. And the oil - protected since day 1, oil that was supposed to be used to pay for this grandiose sendup of a slaughter yet junior bush is now asking for tens of billions out of an economy he's already decimated to help them. Tes of billions that Time magazine had taken a closer look at and saw lots of "fuzzy math". bush is not just a 'tard, he's a true depraved lowlife who cares not for anybody except himself and the creatures who helped put him into power.

And a country is a home. Where is bush sending troops into all the homes' of Americans who disagree with him? That'll eventually happen too...

If Saddam was so bad, why didn't daddy bush take him out in 1991, when there was justified support and a justifiable condition?!!! Take him out then and rebuild the country - THEN when it made sense to do so. We didn't let Hitler survive in WW II because he invaded other peoples' countries. Why did daddy bush let Saddam live and give him the power to continue slaughtering his own people, huh?!!!!!

6. I get the uneasy feeling that Bremer enjoys those trappings of power...
even if they are second-hand...
