Truth emerging?

So now the bushbaby has some serious information in his playpen (leaving him and all his playmates looking a bit grim, as though they all reek of the sour milk he has splashed about him) from the independent study group on Iraq. Not enough that his dad's ol' pal Gates (whom daddybush evidently prevailed on babybush to nominate for the Defense Secretary post) told the Senate that the US is currently NOT winning "the war" in Iraq, his papa's own Secretary of State Baker with his colleague Hamilton have presented him with their bipartisan independent analysis of the situation there. This is how it begins:

The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating. There is no path that can guarantee success, but the prospects can be improved.

And this is a clear warning from the end of the "Executive Summary":

It is the unanimous view of the Iraq Study Group that these recommendations offer a new way forward for the United States in Iraq and the region. They are comprehensive and need to be implemented in a coordinated fashion. They should not be separated or carried out in isolation.
