Jane Harman: I think we need a new "strategy" for Iraq. The ISG report is taking shots from the right and the left, and so it is probably about right.
I don't know enough that is going on to know exactly what recommendations aren't feasible.
She says her opinion of partition...and the Iraqis seem to want this...
BUT, that isn't in this report (which she just endorsed)...and that is what is wrong with this report.
LOL...talk about a contradiction in one sentance.
Shays: I would not encourage division...they are all mixed areas..
Wolf: Many neighborhoods are not mixed anymore due to us being there.
Jane Harman: Semi-independant regions...Yugoslavia is the model here.
Wolf: the ISG doesn't like it, nor does Pres. Bush.
Jane: I know they don't.
Shays: I don't recommend that, but if it happens, it happens.
Jane: We could out of Iraq sooner (William Perry says so..and he is the architect of this study).
Sandra D. O'Connor to me, "Jane, that this report and move on"...and I agree with that!!!
LOL---she just said she disagrees with the non-partitioning.
Shays: I want a timeline in speed to train Iraqis...I want tto give them very little time...months.
He's too moderate for their likening, IMO
