Iraq Study Group
This is the best article I've seen on the Iraq study group proposals. It's laugh out loud funny. A taste:
In the meantime, the newspapers continue to write crap. No one should ever wonder why Americans think the proposals of the ISG are "fundamental changes in course".
This report essentially said that Bush is moving in the right direction. He knows he's out of office in 2008. He cares about the Iraqi people and their country. Do you think that he doesn't want us mostly as advisors by 2008? Of course he does and of course he's been moving in that direction. Ok, you're right. He had no intention of negotiating with Iran. And he had no intention of making Israel disappear to save the situation. But other than that?
Even Syrian negotiations have been hinted at. As have threats to Iraq that we'll just go home.
I mentioned JayWalk yesterday from the Jay Leno show. People get their information from the news. The news takes whatever the first newspaper said and then runs with it throughout the country. In this case, the ISG will save us all if only the stubborn Bush will follow the recommendations.
The problem in Iraq is that Iran and Syria are arming, funding, and encouraging Sunni and Shiite insurgents? Well then, all we have to do is to convince Syria and Iran to stop supporting these insurgents.In the meantime, a new poll is out saying that Americans think we're losing the war in Iraq and we should follow the proposals of the ISG to change course.
The problem in the region is that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict inflames anti-American sentiment? Well then, all we have to do is to convene a conference to negotiate peace in the Middle East.
See how simple that was? It's amazing that no one ever thought of these ideas before the Iraq Study Group came along. But no, don't thank them. It's all in a day's work for Captain Obvious.

The bipartisan Iraq Study Group last week issued a report calling the situation in Iraq "grave and deteriorating," while recommending fundamental changes in how the Bush administration handles the war.Fundamental changes?? Like what? Like "As the Iraqi's stand up, we'll stand down"?
