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.
