“three highly autonomous regions.”
Asking for trouble down the road if you ask me.
Maybe it is a quicker solution, but long term it sounds like we would end up having to go back in again.

This committee can recommend whatever it likes. Iraq now has a sovereign government. It's what that government wishes that will happen.

Wasn't there a published poll recently that said that 70% of the Iraqis don't want their country split up? Does that count or mean anything?

Perhaps first mentioned here on FR by yours truly, circa 1998!

I don't look forward to how badly they are about to screw the whole game plan up. Baker for one keeps on patting himself on the back as how he sat down and talked with the Syrians. Yea.
Well Baker have you noticed how Syria has acted since then.
Damn fools.
I hope the POTUS is simply giving this set of clowns lip service and has no intentions of following anything they put in writing.
The aftermath of the Senate 9/11 Report and follow up reports from different branches of this government has shown yet again they are mostly a bunch of screw ups at best, and damn rotten liers and evil operators toward a more realistic appraisal.
Damn if I would give them an inch. Meanwhile the Islamos sit and wait, hoping the way is being paved for them to move forward with their agendas, once this administration is is totally hogged tied.

There is no easy answer to the Iraq issue. That is something we should all agree on.
But I say, we give our troops better protection and better protection orders and we keep burning through all the Islamic Hotheads in the Middle East with our firepower.
That is also something we should all agree on.

Why would anyone trust this arabist to advise this President on geo political affairs.
Blech

Why ask a bunch of politicians (and Supreme Court Justice!) how to win a war. Why not convene a panel of military experts?

Bush & Co. want to have substantial troop reductions prior to their leaving the White House in January 2009, probably before fall 2008. Since pacification is failing with no signs of improvement, we must find a way to withdraw our troops to our isolated bases and to friendly regions in Iraq, primarily Kurdistan.
One or two dictators will dominate the two Arab regions. There will be ongoing warfare between the two Arab factions. The persecution of Christians will escalate, possibly to genocidal levels, resulting in their flight from Arab Iraq.
