Bipartisan surrender is still surrender. All that was missing was Hamilton and Baker leading the panel in "Kumbaya." They knew that the enemies of this country in the msm would immediately start marketing this lip-sticked pig to the rubes in fly-over country.

Rush mentioned yesterday that one of the 79 steps the ISP recommended was "The US should talk to the leadership of Iraq."

How freaking brilliant is that?

Yep,it's called appeasement. History should be a teacher but people never seem to learn from it. What did Chamberlin call it "peace in our time" and a handful of years later 60 million people were dead !!!

They are not serving a buffet.

They are serving left-overs. Just ask Obama.

The group also recommends that “Iran should stem the flow of arms and training to Iraq, respect Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and use its influence over Iraqi Shia groups to encourage national reconciliation.” Phew. Thank goodness Vernon Jordan signed on to that one. If only nine out of ten had agreed, some people might have concluded that maybe Iran shouldn’t do that stuff.

I'd love Bush to come out today, say that he's decided to start implementing the recommendations of the study group starting with the most important.

And then he could pick THIS one, and bomb the heck out of Iran in order to "convince" them to do what Baker said they should do.

Much of this so-called "bipartisanship" is really bureaucratic groupthink where every member just agrees with every vacuous platitude that the other members inflect. Beneath it all, there is little substance or strategy.

Yogi Berra once said, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” That, it seems, was the commission’s approach.
