So the Baker Hamilton Iraq Study Group is a bust?
The President has dismissed it and one of its members has suggeste that the expectations were too high. As the leader of the Free World (that's scary) returns home, the news reports are that he is not very keen on the Baker Hamilton ideas. Alan Simpson, the long drink of water from Wyoming, said today that maybe the Republican expectations were not realistic. So, are we back to square one?

4. We never LEFT Square One!
Bush doesn't listen to anything but the voices in his head.

And the ISG's findings were doomed to be dismissed from the start, because the group was headed up by one of Poppy's friends - and you know how much Bush respects the opinions of his father's friends.

5. You're just jealous
Because the voices don't talk to you.

Sorry. The man's a megalomaniac. If it doesn't agree with his views, it's nonsense. After all, he's right and God told him to do it.

Gah.

Sometimes there's a rainbow...and in this case, the complete deconstruction of GWB and his neo-con masters is a small bit of help.

8. There is ONLY one possible solution to 'the bushco disaster'.........
DIPLOMACY; since there are NO COMPETENT FUNCTIONING DIPLOMATS in the bushco administration and since the 'foreign policy sage' would NEVER let ANYONE outside HIS administration become the USA's representative in 'talks' with the other nations, 'WE' are effectively back to square NONE.
