The Iraq Study Group Report came out today, and by all accounts, it says..........exactly what everyone expected it to say 2-3 months ago. I don't know that anything will change necessarily as a result of the report now being official (especially with several other such "reports" expected in the coming "weeks, not months"). Several of the proposed recommendations: phased re-deployment, gradual drawing down, engaging Iran and Syria, were declared "non-starters" by Tony Snow just last month (although he did some back-tracking and double-speaking regarding Iran today). Much of this seems to be what Democrats had been calling for in the run-up to the election, all the while being labeled "defeatocrats" and "the party of cut-and-run", and yet here it comes from a "bipartisan" (or is it nonpartisan...whatever the difference is) group and all of a sudden much of this is in line with the administration's policies? Are they being serious? Do they think people don't have memories (or video tape) to recognize hypocrisy?
In other news, it looks like we're "going back" to the moon, this time for good, by the year 2020. Anyone know why?
