"According to members of the panel, the group concluded that American
forces in Iraq should make a major shift in priorities over the next year,
largely withdrawing from combat in favor of beefing up the training of Iraq
forces. It also called for stepped-up diplomatic efforts — including talks
with Iran and Syria — not only to stabilize Iraq but to revive the peace
process between Israel and the Palestinians, news services reported. "

So mucho what I've been saying then. Desert bases, over the horizon
help/threat to the forces of authority to keep them on the line &
actually trying to get the PalIsrael scrap sorted.

Now given when I suggested such things I was derided by the GGR love-in
crew as some sort of "Hate America First'er" one can only presume
that the Iraqi commission is not motivated by a sense of realism but a deep
antipathy to everything American & I'll bet they even hate Apple pie.
