Schemer, you know you all are schemers.

Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no!
I said, schemers, you all are nothing but schemers.

Hello Iraq Study Group! Hellooooo!

Iraq Study Group report

External Approach

Given the ability of Iran and Syria to influence events within Iraq and their interest in avoiding chaos in Iraq, the United States should try to engage them constructively. In seeking to influence the behavior of both countries, the United States has disincentives and incentives
available. Iran should stem the flow of arms and training to Iraq, Study Groups Ivory Tower respect Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and use its influence over Iraqi Shia groups to encourage national
reconciliation. The issue of Iran’s nuclear programs should continue to be dealt with by the five
permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany. Syria should control
its border with Iraq to stem the flow of funding, insurgents, and terrorists in and out of Iraq

There must be a renewed and sustained
commitment by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace on all fronts: Lebanon,
Syria, and President Bush’s June 2002 commitment to a two-state solution for Israel and
Palestine. This commitment must include direct talks with, by, and between Israel, Lebanon,
Palestinians (those who accept Israel’s right to exist), and Syria.

Whatever!

In your parallel universe perhaps, sure that will all work out just fine. [roll eyes]

Everything will be comin’ up roses. Hunky dory. Happy days are on the horizon, I can see it all now.

Not!

Can you say pipe dreams? Well devised schemes?

Ways and means? America gets reamed?

I’ll do ya one better…

Get the picture?

Any questions I.S.G. ??

This posting is short and to the point. “Right” on point! IMO

I am not feeling well, so I’m going to let those who have the common sense, to call ‘em as they see them, speak tonight.

Could it be that Baker would have his fingers in the Iraqi debt pie??

ISG equals surrender @ Right Truth

Unfortunately, after people have actually read the report and see what a pathetic excuse for policy it is, the media and blogosphere are ablaze with praise on one side and utter shock on the other.

Rick Moran writes in advance of the report’s release today:

You will excuse me if I believe that talking to Syria while it is in the process of gobbling up its tiny Lebanese neighbor to be one of the most cynical, immoral, and ill-considered diplomatic ideas in a generation –


Fatal Flaws in Baker’s Iraq Study Group Report By: Shane Briscoe @Old War Dogs

I read quickly through the Iraq Study Group’s report (available on CNN) and noted some fatal flaws, not the least of which is the contention that the conflict cannot be resolved through military mean.

Excellent coverage all. Of course I never expect any less. ;)
