"GEORGE BUSH could hardly be clearer in his disagreement with those, such as the members of the Baker-Hamilton Commission, who have argued for an early exit from Iraq..."

That is driving me nuts because it is wrong! Even FOX News gets it wrong! The Iraq Study Group Report calls for a troop INCREASE! Read the section: MILITARY AND SECURITY FORCES. It clearly calls for a troop SURGE! Why can the media (both sides) not get it right!?

I have my reservations, but maybe Bush has the Iranians squirming a bit:

"A Saudi official said on Monday Iran had asked Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, to help ease tensions between the Islamic Republic and the United States, as Washington held out the possibility of "engagement" with Tehran if it changed tack in Iraq.

Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani delivered a letter from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah ahead of Rice's visit to Riyadh.

The official, who declined to be named, said Iran wanted Saudi leaders to relay a goodwill message to Washington."
