Seeing the Real (War) at Last.

“From now on I’ll be busy, Ain’t goin’ nowhere fast…” In what will hopefully amount to both a transformation in the debate over the war and a much-needed moment of clarity for the Dubya administration (alas, not likely), the Baker-Hamilton Commission officially releases its Iraq report (Exec Sum/Assessments). While perhaps vague on the details, it calls the situation in Iraq “grave and deteriorating” and argues that a “slide toward chaos” is a very real possibility (if, in fact, it hasn’t already happened.) “Despite a list of 79 recommendations meant to encourage regional diplomacy and lead to a reduction of U.S. forces over the next year, the panel acknowledges that stability in Iraq may be impossible to achieve any time soon.

One thought on “Seeing the Real (War) at Last.”

  1. When Dubyah AKA “The Decider” decided to drop the phrase Stay The Course I payed no attention because I knew thats the only thing he wants to do is stay the course.
    The most telling thing he has said in recent months was that little gem from his vacant head…
    Bush Says He Will Not Withdraw From Iraq Even If Laura And Barney The Dog Are The Only Ones Supporting Him…
    The rest of the Country has not yet come to grips with the fact he is truly rubber room material.
    Now with the ensemble of his Dad’s pals around to clean up his act I bet he snaps soon with an Al Haig style “I’m in charge here”
