Sermon On The Mount

Hubris and arrogance from the Iraq Study Group, the committee tasked with producing a horse that has given us a camel. Excerpts. Best question so far from the press conference: You guys went to Iraq and didn’t even leave the Green Zone. Why should the president listen to you instead of all his other advisors. Another good one, where’s the word victory?

Baker self-describes the group as “a bunch of has-beens.” The best part is the insistence that the recommendations have to be taken in whole, no cherrypicking. Someone needs to remind the has-beens who’s president. Like, maybe the president.

As expected, it’s cut-and-walk. A plan for disengagement. These has-beens don’t get it.

The whole wretched thing is available for download here.

Rightwing Nut House on the ISG’s update of John Kerry’s timeless question.

David Ignatius discusses what the Iranians want. Us out.

I hate to send anyone to the Globe, but my former Herald colleague Jeff Jacoby is good on the danger of engaging with the enemy.

Andrew McCarthy paints a picture. Iraq is just one battlefield in a larger war from which we cannot disengage. This is the equivalent of rebuilding the Twin Towers overseas.

Don Surber thinks the Dems don’t want to lose in Iraq, but I think this report gives them all the cover they need. It will be rolled up and used to beat George Bush over the head.

   “Sermon on the Mount?” Nope, Say rather “Sermon on the Mound”

   Rather than rehashing old Kerry news with the typical wingnut twist, why not point out the obvious, the ISG is calling for plans that have outlined by Kerry for months - http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=4898

   Some get that Kerry’s been right on this for a very longtime - painful as it may be for you wingnuts.

   I guess it would blow it for you as a wannabe conservative poser if the word ever got out that you voted for Clinton twice.

   Jules voted for Clinton? What? Say it ain’t so. I am shocked, Crittenden, shocked.

   Thanks for the tip Sean. Let’s see if Jules comes clean…

   Actually once, Pam. Once was plenty. I don’t know what I was thinking. Oh yeah, I wasn’t. Live and learn.
