• Sergeant Boggs has it right - the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) is about idiocy in the midst of war.
   
• Bill Bennett called the ISG report an exercise in post-modernism, it answered a different question than was posed; instead of "How can we win the war?" the ISG addressed "How can we find common ground?"
   
• When you are fighting a war it's a bad time to look for common ground. Instead, we need clear, determined leadership. We've had that up until now, but...
   
• The Bush administration has been cozying up to the ISG like a holiday gift basket. No "serious concerns" or "serious disagreements." Instead...

"I urge the members of Congress to take this report seriously. While they won't agree with every proposal -- and we probably won't agree with every proposal -- it, nevertheless, is an opportunity to come together and to work together on this important issue."

Does that sound like clear, determined leadership? The commander with "shoot in his eye" is becoming president Jellyfish (Ref: TV show "24").

• I wonder how long it will take us to figure out after we've pulled all the troops out that the enemy is just that..a real enemy who wants to destroy us and our way of life. What city will we loose? How many thousands?
