The Iraq Study Group: A Fatal Flaw
Robert Dreyfuss
There's good news and bad news in the long-awaited report of the Iraq Study Group. Happily, it starts the United States down the path of withdrawal.

Bush ponders next Iraq move

The question now is how much of the Iraq Study group's plan President Bush will implement.
At a news conference with the British Prime Minister Tony Blair in Washington - the first time Mr Bush had commented in detail on the report - the president said that a "new approach" was needed in Iraq. It is "bad there", he accepted.
But he did not commit himself in advance of three other studies that are coming his way from the Pentagon, the State Department and his National Security Council.
