Paul Bremer then continued his advice and remarks to the ambassador to help him learn to deal with those people, concluding:
You will find them proficient in cruel and empty speech, rendering the listener confused. They speak this way with every nationality and culture and are unable to be direct even among their closest companions. With their empty intellects and political ineptitude, you will not find any among them who has a clear or acceptable solution to the problem; they continually place their partisanship and temperament ahead of all considerations of the national good. Knowing full well that they are isolated and receive no consideration from their own people because their citizens who took power during the interim transitional government have demonstrated that they are little more than expendable material.*
