    The Iraq Defeat And Retreat Commission

    DateWednesday, December 6, 2006 at 09:50AM
    Early media reports about the Iraq Study Group's recommendations are fairly consistent with what we were led to believe would be the crux of their analysis and recommendations:  Things are going to hell in a handbasket and the United States should negotiate deals with Iran and Syria and begin bailing out in 2008.  Presumably this policy will help avoid a broader catastrophe in the region, including a humanitarian crisis.  So what would Baker and Hamilton have us do?  Strike a bargain with the Iranians and Syrians that allows the former to have nuclear weapons and the latter a free hand in Lebanon?  As if that's going to stabilize the region?  No thanks!   Now that we've heard from the pessimists, let's get back to finding ways to actually win the war.

      Response: Bush Was Right - we'll have to fight them here
      by bernie at planck's Constant on December 7, 2006
      flag as burqaLiberal Idiots have been disputing President Bush's often repeated assertion that "we fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" as fear-mongering and that the fighting in Iraq is nothing more than native Iraqis fighting for power and turf.
