After five or six months of wasting time (and God knows how many lives) with the "surge," it looks like the Bush administration may be reconsidering the Iraq Study Group. You'd think the people working in this White House would just be too embarrassed to wake up some mornings.

The people working in the White House are awake?

oooh... maybe we'll get "Iraq Study Group II: The Return of Baker"! I love sequels.
Aaaah! Hence the sequel, 28 Weeks Later.
Of course they are going to reconsider the ISG. The administration will set some benchmarks with a 6 month deadline then add some time for evaluation. NOTHING will change during that time.
Doesn't everyone see that this is the same "run out the clock" strategy that Kyle Sampson referred to at DOJ? The "surge" was a delay. Changing commanders is a delay. Even the elections and constitution were delays.
They will reconsider anything (even being Republicans) in order to inch the clock toward 0s.
Damn. That "run out the clock" stuff was what I was going to say. They'll "change course" 20 more times IF it will help them run out the clock and retain enough Republicans so that a veto (of a forced withdrawal plan) cannot be overridden.
In addition, we all know what Bush administration "negotiation" looks like. Bushies walk into a room with Syrians or Iranians, tell them our unacceptable, one-sided, non-negotiable demands, then blame them in a compliant American press when "talks" break down.
Gosh, it sounds like I don't expect much.

I'm left wondering if the NY Post is going to re-do their "Surrender Monkey" front page with Bush and Condi now.
