It's not just conservatives, there's a few liberals out there who can't swallow what the ISG was selling. Jeff Greenfield on Imus this morning was pretty nonplused with the report.
My favorite part of what he said was, after Imus asked about Baker saying you had to take ALL the recommendations, Greenfield said so what are you supposed to to when one recommendation is to increase the troops while another says draw down the troops?
He also ridiculed the idea that the way to solve one "intractable" problem was to try to solve two more at the same time (refering to the Israel/Palistinian problem and Jerusalem I presume).
Then I listend to C-Span, and most of the liberals calling hated the ISG report because it didn't really say bring the troops home now.

As an engineer, I can tell you that from my experience, nothing that is "designed by committee" ever turns out well.
That's why we need LEADERS.
