    This report was a waste of time. Worse then that, it's actually propaganda for the terrorists. By connecting an Iraq solution to the conflict between Israeli and the Palestinians, the Iraq Study Group seems to be using sound bites straight from Osama Bin Laden.

    Talking to Iran and Syria were also wonderful recommendations. After all, talking with Iran got them to stop working on their nuclear program, didn't it?
