TOP TEN 'OUTTAKES' FROM THE IRAQ STUDY GROUP
While the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group have come under fire from both the Left and the Right, The New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh has obtained secret “outtakes” from the ISG deliberations that were deemed too controversial for the final report.

Here, then, from the home office of Baghdad’s Green Zone , are the Top Ten Iraqi “panaceas” that were left off the “main course,” and on the “cutting and run” floor:

10. Get our troops get out of harm’s way — have Iraqi military trained by the Video Professor.

9. Change the “grave and deteriorating” characterization to “Dante’s Inferno.”

8. Partition Iraq into Shirts vs. Skins.

7. Get Iraqi army units to cut back on the waterpipe breaks.

6. Assign everyone Jewish surnames, so that ethnic cleansing between Shia and Sunni is not so easy. (Anyone seen Mohammed Goldberg?)

1. I love it! Thanks for posting the link, Don! We need some jocularity in these grave times.
