Unless, we get the participation of the European Nations, including those most critical of us, as well as, Yes, U.N. participation, any plan for Iraq will not succeed. The Europeans need to face that fact that it is in their vital interests, both from the aspects of security and trade, to participate in any settlement of Iraq. A very important nation that needs to participate, in any settlement with all its dangers is Turkey, our bridge between the Christian Nations of Europe and Islam.
The greatest crisis we face in the Congress and the presidency is the failure of imagination.
This process may provide new opportunities to solve the problem of nuclear proliferation in Iran. The proposed framework of Europe's involvement provides this process, also.

"They're all basically saying the same thing: This is an utter disaster. This is the worst strategy mistake in the history of the United States,"

Duh,like yeah! Glad to see some people finally waking up :P

And former Vice President Al Gore noted Wednesday that the group's report is one of several other reviews being undertaken within the administration. "They're all basically saying the same thing: This is an utter disaster. This is the worst strategy mistake in the history of the United States," Gore said on NBC's "Today" show.

Finally Washington is starting to wake up....but what a sad mess GWB and his cronies have left the American people....

Mr. Bush will acknowledge the report, but will not adopt all of its recommendations. Instead, the president will most likely wait a couple weeks and then outline his new strategy for Iraq on national television.

YEP THE OLD MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

"a war that has lost favor with the American public."

THIS WAR NEVER FOUND FAVOR WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!

==========================================
"Iran and Syria, which the U.S. considers pariah states."

THE LABEL: *PARIAH* SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE TO AVID DIALOGUE. BUSH'S PRIDE HAS COST OUR TROOPS THEIR LIVES. HE HAS A MORAL OBLIGATION TO EXPLORE EVERY AVENUE TO BRING THEM OUT OF HARM'S WAY; EVEN IF THAT MEANS SPEAKING TO OTHERS.

""Very early on, the notion of achieving some sort of victory didn't take," Chas W. Freeman Jr., former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, told the newspaper."

OLD UNANSWERED QUESTION:

WHAT DOES *VICTORY* LOOK LIKE; A U.S. FLAG FLYING FROM THE IRAQI LEGISLATURE?
