Will Bush Get Froggy with the ISG?

Frog Calls

How hard has the Bush White House been hit by the Iraq Study Group report?

Is the report a bipartisan rejection of the Bush adminstration's handling of the war or a fair look, not an indictment of the President?

Will Bush listen?

Will Bush stop looking back and move forward?

Will he put his stubbornness aside and pay attention to any of the 79 recommendations of the bipartisan ISQ or will he see the report as cutting and running?

Can Iraq be robust?

Can Iraq move forward?

Will the Iraq people ever believe that everyone has to have a stake in the government on the basis of citizenship-both Sunnis and Shiites?

Will Bush find common ground for the good of the country?

Will he invest in the future of America?

What can we as a country do tomorrow to help make the situation better?

How can we take the politics out of the resolution of the war in Iraq?

Can the media give an honest appraisal of the news that is vital for Americans to reach consensus?

Can bipartisonship be infectious?

Is the clock ticking in Iraq?

Does the President have a disaster on his hands?

"I would urge the President to try to separate out the personal issues of being blamed in history for his mistake and instead recognizing that it is not about him. It?s about our country."
--Al Gore

Bush Appears Cool to Key Points Of Report on Iraq

(What a shock).

President Bush vowed yesterday to come up with "a new strategy" in Iraq but expressed little enthusiasm for the central ideas of a bipartisan commission that advised him to ratchet back the U.S. military commitment in Iraq and launch an aggressive new diplomatic effort in the region.

The president called the Iraq Study Group's ideas "worthy of serious study," he seemed to dismiss the most significant ones point by point.

Bush made clear that he intends to cherry-pick some and ignore others. "I don't think Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton expect us to accept every recommendation," Bush said. "I think they expect us to consider every recommendation."

But just days after his new defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, and his close friend Blair both said that they believe the United States and Britain are not winning the war, Bush bristled when asked if he was "still in denial about how bad things are in Iraq."

"It's bad in Iraq," Bush replied sharply, glaring at the reporter. "Does that help?"

The president added: "In all due respect, I've been saying it a lot. I understand how tough it is, and I've been telling the American people how tough it is . . . I also believe we're going to succeed. I believe we'll prevail."

When will the citizens of the United States finally realize that a mental patient is running this country?

It's not a political thing.

This guy is seriously ill.

I can only imagine his DSM-IV diagnosis.

Bush is a danger to himself and others.

Baker-Act him.
