Getting Out of Iraq?
Tweet Share on Facebook November 14, 2006 Comment (22)The papers are full of speculation that the Iraq Study Group chaired by James Baker and Lee Hamilton will recommend that we get out of Iraq or at least make moves in that direction. The ISG is said to be recommending that we seek help in stabilizing Iraq in negotiations with the governments of Iran and Syria. Robert Gates, President Bush's nominee to succeed Donald Rumsfeld as defense secretary and who is a member of the ISG, publicly recommended negotiations with Iran and Syria last year. I don't understand why we should expect Iran and Syria to help us. But we are told that these men do and that Bush may follow their recommendations.
