No Magic From Iraq Survey Group

November 30, 2006 | By Sniper One |

Early indications are that the Iraq Survey Group’s consensus is so lukewarm in its recommendations that it was a waste of taxpayer dollars.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 — The bipartisan Iraq Study Group reached a consensus on Wednesday on a final report that will call for a gradual pullback of the 15 American combat brigades now in Iraq but stop short of setting a firm timetable for their withdrawal, according to people familiar with the panel’s deliberations.

The report, unanimously approved by the 10-member panel, led by James A. Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton, is to be delivered to President Bush next week. It is a compromise between distinct paths that the group has debated since March, avoiding a specific timetable, which has been opposed by Mr. Bush, but making it clear that the American troop commitment should not be open-ended. The recommendations of the group, formed at the request of members of Congress, are nonbinding.

A person who participated in the commission’s debate said that unless the government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki believed that Mr. Bush was under pressure to pull back troops in the near future, “there will be zero sense of urgency to reach the political settlement that needs to be reached.”

If I was Osama or Al Muhajir, I’d be laughing my ass off.

Instead of just leaving now, we leave slowly, so as our number diminish, we get more and more attacks from the insurgents. Sounds like a terrific recipe for disaster. Do we at least get an order of fries with our wasted tax dollars, cause if this is the best they can come up with, I want a damn refund on my money.

Now if this is a simultaneous draw down of American troops, while a build up of troops from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE happens… then perhaps this has potential. However as it stands now, it’s just an additional crap sandwich on top of the loaves of crap sandwiches we’ve already been served.

    As my grandmother, Mrs. America, always said. “If you’re eating a sh*t sandwich, then you spread the bread.”

    My version: Own it.
