Just a quick post on the release of the Iraq Study Group Report. For the political savvy people out there, what are your thoughts on the report? What should the president do with this report?
I myself, have not read it yet. However, I think I will be able to read it tonight and let you know in a future post my thoughts on it. My educational background did not specialize in Middle East Affairs, it is actually was in Asian Affairs. But in any event, I figured I would see what I can make out of the report. The way things are going right now, I think President Bush needs all the help he can get.
