Reality check time: This quote from Associated Press article fulfills the rule of we can castrate anything with 'compromise'( edit: The word 'compromise' when used by a Democrat is a euphemism for 'We, The Gutless, Have Sold Out Again'--max) as these ISG panel recommendations are an exercise in gutless compromise as it establishes that the panelist in NO way want to indicate they are questioning the power of the POTUS.
Dreyfuses' victory rant is based on NOTHING.
All Bush ever needs is the inch that will let him take the proverbial mile. This 100 page document as being revealed here evidently has many loop holes for to Bush, such that it is a DOA report.
Toothless is a better word, this is a The Toothless ISG Blue-Ribbon Panel Report.At least as this reporter is indicating

<< The congressionally chartered panel, whose recommendations are not binding, will encourage Bush to engage U.S. adversaries Syria and Iran to improve regional dialogue, several officials said. That outreach could include a regional conference among all of Iraq's neighbors, or a wider gathering of Middle East nations that would also address separate Middle East peace issues.
A former senior U.S. official who participated in the deliberations said the recommendations will include resumption of Mideast peace talks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.
The report, due Wednesday, suggests that Bush give Iraqi leaders notice that America's military commitment is not open-ended. The panel's Republican and Democratic members could NOT agree on bolder proposals. Options to quickly bring home a large percentage of the 140,000 U.S. forces supporting the fragile government in Baghdad or set a clear timeline for withdrawal were on the table.
The compromise strategy the panel endorsed also gives the Bush administration political leverage to step back from red lines it has set for the Iraq conflict, such as Bush's statement this week that he will never "pull the troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete."( edit: in other words he has been given the right to ignore the report utterly and say things such as the preceding, as this is his Presidential Power, yada, yada---Max)
Without firm benchmarks for a U.S. military withdrawal, the recommendations would essentially back up Bush's basic policy of using security conditions in Iraq, not a calendar, as the guide to battlefield decisions. The administration has long said it will transfer responsibility for Iraq's security to Iraqi forces as those forces become strong enough to handle the job.
On Capitol Hill, Democrats said the report would be a good first step for their effort to push for a start to U.S. troop withdrawals(edit: i translate the preceding sentence as "We have pushed our moribund stinking carcass one foot forward so that we can sucker the public into thinking we are actually alive and blithering blokes like Dreyfus can rant about what GREAT PROGRESS is occurring" ---Max >>
**************************************************************
Now i will say why this Panel report is so useless, because as the ISG studied deep they realized Iran has already WON, that the Bush decision to invade Iraq had left behind a disaster the the ISG has realized it can NOT fix WITHOUT surrendering openly to Iran demands.
So they sent up a SMOKE REPORT trying to hide that the ISG has discovered we have LOST already and in a VERY BIG way.
They just hope that Iran will talk to them(the non-neocons) and give them a deal they can cope with and then Bush and the Reublican AND Democrat neocons won't bomb Iran after they realize that thanks to their rank incompetence, Iran now has all the Aces except for one that being their(the neocons) Tactical Nuclear Weapons, the Ace of Spades, the Death Card. Max, politely.

p.s. What deal would Iran accept. Israeli CAPITULATION to a One State solution.
Now what are
the chances of that happening??????
and i ask then
What are the chances of a living breathing Eastern Box Tortoise successfully crossing the Long Island Expressway at rush hour as opposed to its being crushed by a rubber tire connected to one of the internal combustion engined mettallic lifeless monsters called PROGRESS????
Care to guess??????
