Geezus. Why even bother with this charade? Why waste the taxpayer's money? We all know how this will end.:eyes: The man who had the asshole appointed is forming this group?



New Panel to Investigate Iraq War Policy
By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer
2 hours ago

WASHINGTON - Ten prominent Americans, including former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, are forming a bipartisan group to assess the Bush administration's policies in Iraq and political and economic developments in the troubled country.

The study was requested by Congress and will be announced Wednesday on Capitol Hill by Baker and Lee H. Hamilton, director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, vice chairman of the Sept. 11 commission and a former member of Congress from Indiana, as providing a fresh look at Iraq.

Congress is increasingly restive about the human and financial toll of the administration's policies in Iraq and an apparently open-ended administration commitment to keep U.S. troops there and help rebuild the country amid sectarian violence and attacks by insurgents.

Five Republicans and five Democrats, including Robert M. Gates, director of the CIA from 1991-93, will serve on the group. Former Sen. Charles Robb, D-Va., also will be a member.<snip>

6. Here is a picture of the last panel Baker convened...


at the Miami-Dade courthouse, flown in by Baker in November 2000, pretending to be "concerned citizens," demanding the vote count be stopped.

I'm sure this new panel will be just as non-partisan.
