The almost instant reject of the central recommendations of the ISG Report by key officials in Iraq and Israel, and serious observers of the war is a refreshing bit of resolve. The criticism is withering and deserved. "A fatuous process yields, necessarily, fatuous results," writes Eliot Cohen in today's Wall Street Journal,
Now comes Israel's newest cabinet minister, Avigdor Lieberman, whose portfolio is strategic affairs and includes Iran. He is visiting the U.S.
“The dialogue with Iran will be a 100-percent failure, just like it was with North Korea,” said Mr. Lieberman, who came here from the Soviet Union in 1978, was first elected to Parliament in 1999 and served in the cabinet of the former prime minister, Ariel Sharon.
So into the vertical file with this enormous waste of time and media attention, and await the Pentagon's strategic review of Iraq. It would be very useful for the president to make a speech warning Syria that it will not be allowed to re-annex Lebanon, and Iran that its provocations in Iraq are being noted and totalled. Book mark RegimeChangeIran and CounterTerrorismBlog, and wait for the State of the Union.

LOL!
Some people do have a way with words. Podhoretz hit the nail on the head.
Strategery ... perhaps unintentional this time, but you couldn't ask for a better fallout from this report.
"but you couldn't ask for a better fallout from this report."
Good points. It's because conservative weren't napping, but got right out there making the point that "defeat is not the answer".
Iraq Study Group Report Hailed by Terrorists, Dupes
According to leading Islamists, the Iraq Study Group’s (ISG) recommendation for a Jewish withdrawal from Palestine, an American surrender in Iraq, and acquiescence in Iranian and Syrian hegemony in the region provides a blueprint for the final push toward Mohammed’s dream of universal Islam.
“A small group of mujahedeen has brought the so-called superpower to its knees,” said bin Laden lieutenant, Ayman al Zawahiri. “It should be clear that Allah is supreme. The unbelievers can surrender peacefully, as the Iraq Study Group advises. Or they can die painfully as we sever their heads from their bodies.”
Abu Nasser, of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group in the West Bank, called the Iraq Study Group report “an acknowledgment of the injustice of the Zionist occupation of Islamic land. James Baker is one of the few Americans not blinded by Jewish propaganda. He is truly a wise man. I hope he comes to Islam so we don’t have to kill him.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Western leaders to follow the Baker-Hamilton plan or “vanish from the face of the earth.” “The might of Allah is irresistible,” Ahmadinejad asserted. “The American defeat in Iraq is but another sign of the imminent collapse of the Great Satan.”
Former President Jimmy Carter said the ISG report confirms that Bush’s venture into Iraq was the worse calamity in U.S. history. “This is far worse than sitting idle while your embassy is taken hostage and diddling for more than a year without getting any results, really, it is,” Carter claimed. “This is worse than running the economy into the ground and losing your reelection bid to an actor. It’s worse than having your brother urinate in public. I think this will help the American people realize that I wasn’t the worst president.”
Former Vice President Al Gore says he sees the report presenting an opportunity for the United States to disengage the Islamists and turn its attention to the real threat of global warming. “Losing to the Islamists is minor compared to the defeat we will all suffer if the next 100 years sees temperatures rise by the 900 degrees scientists unanimously agree they will,” Gore said. “I think most Americans would rather be Muslims than roasted by global warming. Ironically, the de-industrialization promised by an Islamic global caliphate may be just the medicine the planet needs to stave off climate disaster.”
The ISG, also known as the Baker-Hamilton Commission, was appointed by congress last March and is co-chaired by James A. Baker, III (Secretary of State during the first Bush Administration), and Lee H. Hamilton (former Democratic congressman from Indiana).

I think he means the "Round File" or the "Circular file", unless by "vertical" he means the shredder, which does seem like a good place for this report.
