Brilliant ideas
"The profound quality of the suggestions offered by the Iraq Study Group — the panel headed by former Secretary of State James Baker that presented its report with such fanfare to the president [Wednesday] morning — can be inferred from the following passage on page 60," New York Post columnist John Podhoretz writes.
" 'Recommendation 19: The president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership.'
"Truly, a grateful nation should fall on its knees and thank the benevolent Creator that the nine wise men and one woman who comprise the Iraq Study Group were willing to sacrifice themselves and come together so that such a recommendation could be placed before our leaders and the world," Mr. Podhoretz said.
"The nation's capital hasn't seen such concentrated wisdom in one place since Paris Hilton dined alone at the Hooters on Connecticut Avenue.
"After all, only genius approaching the level of Paris could have written this sentence: 'The Support Group should consist of Iraq and all the states bordering Iraq ... and, of course, Iraq itself.'
"Yes, that's some Support Group, what with Iraq and Iraq in it together to support, um, Iraq."
