Does Baker et al not know that even if Syria and Iran promised cooperation in quailing the Iraqi insurgents that Islams believe that it's okay...even desirable...to lie to infidels (aka non-Muslims)?
"It's hard to talk to state sponsored terror countries that lose respect for you when you want to talk instead of getting it on. We may learn that one day."
This should be emblazoned on the cover of the ISG report after discarding its contents. That is all a resonable person needs to know about this.
Also, can someone tell me where these old reptiles get off telling the sovereign state of Israel how to placate her enemies, and the sovereign state of Iraq, with its democratically elected government, how to submit to 7th century despotic Iran, Syria, and Baker's paymaster, Saudi Arabia.
These "study" groups and our criminally stupid media setting out to prove once again, "Being an enemy of America is harmless (and fun) being America's friend is treacherous."
