What's your opinion of the just-released Iraq report?

Question

James Baker and his panel of bipartisan experts released their findings today, and recommended strategies for resolving the Iraqi war. My personal opinion is that it's all pig swaddle. Plus, I'd like to know how much American taxpayers paid Baker, his associates, and the Carlye Group for writing this report. -RKO-

Answer 1

I don't think that they really came up with anything new and we already knew Bush's way wasn't working.
I found myself watching them on TV this morning and thinking how old they are and not feeling confident with any of their decisions. It sickens me that all our young people are being killed and it breaks my heart when they announce that they have young families at home.
As far as the Taxpayers money for the cost of this report, it hasn't concerned them at all. I have already heard about the Taxpayers money being wasted, this was just nickels and dimes to them.

Answer 2

I thought James Baker was a dear friend of Bush family and a highly respected individual. He was Bush's spokesman during the Al Gore voting conflict in the first election. What ever these guys were paid was a drop in the ocean compared to the grotesque amount of money that Bush administration has spent and is spending on this horror in Iraq.

Answer 3

I think its an accurate and realistic assessmenmt. Looking forward to see what Bush does next. We have no good options.
