A funny way to save Iraq

Book says Kerik grandstanded, then left Baghdad

BY JAMES GORDON MEEK


<snip>"Kerik never left the car. He stayed inside the armored car," Burke told the Daily News. "Some questioned his courage."





WASHINGTON - Disgraced ex-Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik went to Iraq in 2003 to restore law and order, but instead signed autographs and gave press conferences as a celebrity 9/11 hero, former colleagues charge.
After arriving in Baghdad's protected Green Zone in May 2003, Kerik was supposed to take over the occupation's Interior Ministry and train hundreds of cops to stabilize the country.

Kerik later boasted that he reestablished the Iraqi police force - yet he only added 100 men to Baghdad's Finest, a new book says.

very sweet deal for Kerik, even SWEETER one for Rudy?

read the article to see how the guilty plea keeps the public from knowing what Rudy knew about Kerik's mob connections (and other disgusting stuff), and when he knew it

just how close was this lying, stealing, braggadocious coward to the next president?
