Rich, I would have had more confidence in that group had it actually spent anytime in Iraq. As I understand it they did not spend much time, if any actually in the country seeing things first hand. How the hell can you get a good idea of what needs to be done without that, or at the minimum with just a quick trip in and then right back out again.

I agree with Matt on this. The Republican ideas are basically let just win with no real particulars, but the Dems don't have much more to offer other than lets leave and declare it a victory
