Iraq Panelists Spent 'Limited Time' There, Group Says

(CNSNews.com) - A conservative group said Wednesday the bipartisan Iraq Study Group had compiled its report on policy options for Iraq after spending a "limited time" in that country. "The principals of the group never once stepped foot in the one region in Iraq where things are actually going well - in the northern region of Iraqi Kurdistan," said Move America Forward chairwoman Melanie Morgan. "It is slipshod work to search for a path to success when you ignore those who have already found a formula for such success." Morgan also said the ISG's suggestion that Iran and Syria could be "helpful allies" was "absurd." "It is more reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain's capitulation to Hitler than Ronald Reagan's resolute stand against Communism during the Cold War," she said.

I know it is hard to believe, I could scarcely believe my own ears; but, I heard a soundbite on the radio today, and I believe it was a CNN reporter, asking Hamilton and Baker, why should we take their report and recommendations to heart when they never left the Green Zone and while we have many men (and women) already spread all over Iraq who have an up close view of the situation. There was a lengthy pause before they tried to answer the question. It was truly remarkable. It was a very valid question coming surprisingly from "the old media."
