Slick Jim Baker's solution: Buy the bastards off!
By Dan Gordon
Selling out Lebanon, Israel, Iraq…and the United States
The Iraq Study Group on the face of it seems to be a well meaning enough document put together by a well meaning enough group of elder statespersons. That's what it seems to be. But that's not what it is. One of the Study Group's co-chairs, Lee Hamilton, is a good, decent, and principled man. The other co-chair is James Baker. James Baker is to politics and diplomacy what J.R Ewing was to oil. Thus what one has is a decent face masking a much more cynical if indeed not sinister one.
