I had seen the crowing from Bremer about an assassination attempt on his life, but didn't bother to report it. Just as well...
US overseer Paul Bremer, meanwhile, said that he had survived an attack against him on December 6 near Baghdad airport.
"That's correct," Bremer told reporters on Friday in the southern city of Basra when asked about the incident and without providing further details.
Bremer's spokesman Dan Senor said it was the first perceived attack on Bremer, who heads the US-led coalition that is administering the country after the overthrow of former president Saddam Hussein by US coalition forces in April.
...But a senior US defense official in Washington said later that a roadside explosion blew out tires of a lead vehicle in a convoy carrying Bremer as he returned from seeing off visiting US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at Baghdad airport.
A windshield in the vehicle carrying Bremer was cracked by the force of the explosion, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
However, the official said the attack was not believed to be specifically directed at Bremer but at "targets of opportunity" on an airport road that had been the scene of past attacks on convoys with improvised explosive devices.

Mr. "We Got 'Im" Bremer is a glory-seeking jerk.
