These war mongering 'jock straps' even have a report called "Chicken Soup for Iraq." Charmed I'm sure !!
The report of the Iraq Study Group (ISG) brings to mind the old vaudeville routine in which the actors play doctors working on a patient. Finally, one pronounces the patient dead. Suddenly from the audience a voice cries out "Give him some chicken soup." An actor on stage says, "I'm sorry, it wouldn't help" to which the audience member replies "But it couldn't hurt." Some of the ISG's 79 recommendations might not help the situation, but they wouldn't hurt.
Unfortunately, there are other parts of the report that not only are not benign, they are malign. One of the most obvious of these is the proposal to seek Syrian and Iranian help in Iraq. The ISG report notes that these countries are a major source of our problems, but we should still seek them out. Another is to place the onus for improving the situation in Iraq on a government in Baghdad that we intentionally designed to be relatively weak.
