Reader comment on item: What Went Wrong with James A. Baker, III?

Submitted by Donald O (United States), Dec 11, 2006 at 21:48

Baker and the study have come to a reasonable conclusion much like W Bush had after many years of no progress [in dealing with Iraq - with 18 UN Resolutions and still attacks in no fly zone etc].

It's time to try something different. Maybe they need 'land for peace' lol

the realization is that you can't depend on the primitive mentality of the Arabs in this flawed construction of a country [thanks to Brit King George et al].

The Iraqi PM and others immediately called the recommendations 'dangerous' etc so obviously they expected this to become a drawn-out American brokered quagmire like the Israeli/Palestinian debacle with Bagdad Bob calling the shots too eh?

Thanks for getting us in there W! to win right? well it's mission acxcomplished > now get us out!
