Committee of Appeasers

Doug Patton has few kind words to say about the upcoming Iraq Study Commission:

Based on preliminary reports, the Baker-Hamilton commission is poised to recommend that the U.S. should "talk" to the leaders of Syria and Iran, just as Chamberlain and his colleagues "talked" to Hitler in September of that fateful year. They also appear to be prepared to recommend a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Therefore, the commission should heretofore be known as the "Baker-Hamilton-Chamberlain Commission," or BHCC for short, since by advising the White House to "talk" to the despots in Syria and Iran, and by signaling to our sworn enemies that we are prepared to leave Iraq defenseless, BHCC is placing the young democracy in the same position in which Czechoslovakia found itself in 1938.

But first, the recommendations have to go through George W. Bush (see below).

This just in: Bush may reject Iraq study group's advice.
