The Report on Iraq

    The bipartisan Iraq Study Group came out with their report today and it suggest that the U.S. should withdraw its forces and instead try a diplomatic tactic. It also said that the Bushco administration should engage in talks with both Syria and Iran.

    Of course the White House, ever being stupid and ignorant, says that it has taken its own review of the situation in Iraq but that they would take the new report " very seriously."   Yep, and it is freezing in hell!

                                   -----------------------------------------

    “Our most important recommendations call for new and enhanced diplomatic and political efforts in Iraq and the region and a change in the primary mission of US forces in Iraq that will enable the United States to begin to move its combat forces out of Iraq responsibly,” the report said.

  “The primary mission of US forces in Iraq should evolve to one of supporting the Iraqi army, which would take over primary responsibility for combat operations,” it added.

New Work Schedule

"It's long overdue," said Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), who lives in Napa Valley and will have to leave his home at 3 a.m. on Sundays to catch a flight to Washington in time for work Mondays. "I didn't come here to turn around and go back home."

   On the new, longer hours that will be required in Washington of the House. A 5 day work week, that's a new one!
