Typical, isn't it!

I don't think so. They have been calling for immediate withdrawal from Iran. This report is calling for a short-term increase in troops, a subsequent US withdrawal with no timetable, embracing our enemies in Syria and Iran, and screwing Israel to buy cooperation from the Arab world (and, incidentally, furthering the anti-Jewish interest of Saudi Arabia, Jim Baker's legal client).
So they'll do what they usually do - lie low and let the media go to work, giving the Dims cover for not taking a position while using any opportunity that presents itself to take shots at the GOP, and working on the American people, convincing them that this report is the most significant document to come along since the Magna Carta.
Democrats React Warily to the Baker Report
It appears that neither party finds much to like about this report. It's simply not realistic and makes assumptions out of wishful thinking. It infers that the Israeli/Palestinian Arab issues are directly related to our mission in Iraq. It suggests keeping Israel at arms length or out of a regional conference.
I'm not surprised by Baker's pro-Arab stance but I am surprised he actually signed his name on this report. It's second rate and unrealistic in almost every aspect and is a pre-recipe for surrender, accommodation and appeasement. It is as un-American as one can be in my view and a disaster for our children and our grandchildren.
Shame on you Sec. Baker. Your report is totally rejected, TOTALLY!!!!!!!!
......... Nancy was left out and there are too many Clintonistas in the group..............
And what in the hell was Vernon Jordan doing in that group???
At least they could have picked the stellar Maddie Halfbright, or the infamous Gore-lick!
