The problem is that most Americans have NO IDEA what is actually in the ISG report. All they hear is that this high-and-mighty BIPARTISAN group (ooh la la!) has made wise pronouncements on getting out of Iraq ASAP, and that Bush is not kowtowing to all of the recommendations. Quelle horreur! If our fellow citizens read the report or even read *about* the report in any depth, they might see its flaws, but ya know, that's too much work. It's just easier to blame it on Bush. As usual.
OH NO!! Does this mean he won't get reelected because of his poll numbers?...just asking.
True-the Dems now have a "bipartisan" cudgel to attack the war effort and the President with. Nothing good can come of this commission or its report. Baker and co. have done nothing but undermine our nation with this foolishness.
Our 13 year old son told us that as part of ongoing discussion of current events, his Social Studies teacher asked the class what they thought of the the ISG report. Apparently only 2-3 youngsters had any idea what he was talking about, suggesting to me that their parents aren't talking about it at home. To his credit, our son spoke up against it. I don't know how he worded it at school, but over dinner he termed it "complete BS". Both he and his 11 year old brother thought it was ridiculous to run from a fight and leave the job unfinished. Pitiful really that youngsters can see this clearly and "mature adults" get lost in the nuance.
