WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush and his national security team will meet
Monday with members of a blue-ribbon commission trying to devise a new
course for the unpopular war in Iraq.

The bipartisan Iraq Study Group, led by former Secretary of State James A.
Baker III and former Democratic congressman Lee Hamilton of Indiana, is
expected to report its recommendations before the end of the year.

Members of the group will have a joint conference at the White House with
Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.

1. Who told him about the ISG?

I'll go out on a limb here and say that this is the first study group Bush will have attended in a loooong time.

[Kagemusha]

4. The media poked him about it.

So if he had forgotten, he got rude reminders.

11. It's obvious ...

he doesn't go to the Bible study groups either, as he is purported to do. :evilgrin:

3. study group?

This is a farce
I dont trust James Baker as far as I can pee
Study Group?> What are they studying? how many more of our brave soldiers can get
killed?
They have had 4years almost, and nothing has happened, it sure wont happen
in the next 2, we need to pull out of Iraq while we can, leave advisors only
in that Country, and bring our soldiers home.

5. He'll go running for the shelter of his Daddy's Little Helpers . . .

Make Iraqis go away, get him through his Prozac day.

6. Yep, Junior is finally throwing in the towel on Iraq.

If he had done this months ago, he might not have lost Congress. But he had to keep up that aura of infaliability, he had painted himself into a corner.

[HaggardsMethDealer]

7. So it looks like the left was right about Bush all along.

He is a spoiled clown who has failed at every endeavor of his miserable life. Looks like Daddy is going to bail him out again, which is exactly what we have been saying all along.

The media needs to get on their knees and apologize for trashing Michael Moore and supporting this sociopath.

LONDON, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair will give evidence
on Tuesday to a U.S. bipartisan panel that is reviewing policy in Iraq
as Washington and London seek to stem violence in the country and
draw down their troops.

Blair will speak to the Iraq Study Group, co-chaired by Republican former
Secretary of State James Baker, via video link from London, his office
said on Saturday.

"They are gathering evidence and ideas and we want to ensure they are
fully briefed on our ideas," a spokeswoman said. She declined to give
details of what Blair would tell the panel.

Blair is expected to support diplomatic approaches to Syria and Iran to
engage them in helping to stop bloodshed in Iraq, an idea some members
of the panel have indicated they favour.
