My question: Mr. President, before the Iraq War, you named Jay Garner as the postwar civilian administrator of the country. According to an interview he gave earlier this year1, he says he favored holding early elections and putting Iraqis in charge of their own destiny as soon as possible. However, the day he arrived in Baghdad, he was fired and replaced with Paul Bremer. Can you tell us why Jay Garner was fired?
