VP Cheney did not like it. The Washington Post editorial page did not like it. Rush and the rest of the conservative talk radio group did not like it. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), did not like it either. The list goes on and on but it seems as if the hawks that dislike the report the most are the ones that have been on Mr. Bush's " stay the course" bandwagon.
Mr McCain did not like the fact that the report did not recommend sending in more troops to Iraq.
William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard,"It's sort of hard to suddenly say everyone agrees Baker is the way to go when the leading Republican candidate for '08 is saying no."
I am waiting to see how long it takes for these hawks to begin calling the drafters of this report " traitors, un-American" and so forth. Anyone listening to the crap out of Rush's mouth and buying into it is just showing how far down the I.Q. chain this country is heading! Michael d.

Although it is clear that many Republicans regard the Iraq Study Group's report as a possible exit strategy from a war that they worry could drag the party down in 2008, such plans are colliding with clear anger from neoconservatives, who have been the most ardent supporters of the Bush administration since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Many Republican and Democratic lawmakers have embraced the panel's report, but the almost uniformly negative reaction from some of Bush's strongest conservative supporters means the president may have some political flexibility to depart from the group's major recommendations, according to some GOP operatives.

Hi Michael,
We are witnessing the last throes of so-called representative democracy...
Just how wise is it for billions of souls to to be at the mercy of a proven idiot just because those with the most money and least scruples put him in power? GW Bush and the greedy scoundrels that surround him are stunning evidence of the utter folly and failures of government driven by money, religion, and politics.
It was clear to me that GHW (papa) Bush was crying recently because he's suffering from the stress of realizing that the debacles caused by his son are ultimately traced to the Bush family's aristocratic ambitions. In other words, the old man and his cabal cronies are as much to blame for Iraq and other evils as the clueless son they foisted upon the world stage. That is why family consiglieri James Baker and smoking man Eagleburger were called in to set the stage for little W's demise.
Royalty, aristocracy, and plutocracy always were and always will be bad ideas and we have been forced to suffer through yet more proof of this. Do you think GW's feelings are more important than the wealth and power of the empire? We're now witnessing the praetorian guard fulfilling their most sacred duty; saving the empire from an insane emperor. Unfortunately for them, it's too little too late.
Here is Wisdom...
